Gibraltar vs Redan

[Andy Hughes]

What exactly is the difference between these two holes?  Or are they essentially the same concept?
I know MacKenzie has said he was unfamiliar with the Redan when he did Moortown.  Is that actually true?

[Jason Topp]

I asked about this a few weeks ago.  I believe the Gilbalter does not have the tilt that a redan has for a run up shot.

[Andy Hughes]

Thanks Jason, guess that's what I get for not reading every day.

By tilt, do you mean a right-to-left area of fairway short and right of the green?

[Jason Topp]

Andy - I may be wrong about this.  Here is an old thread someone posted within the last few days.

Hope this helps.

Excellent Jason, thanks so much!

Strategy may be similar, but what has come before and what will come after won't be the same.  These may be famous holes, but they are 1/18th of a course.  They may be much more than that... Why should they be so influential?
