This thread is starting to remind me of something we covered a few weeks ago, Situaltional Awareness. I'll call it the PAN check.
P: Platform. How are you challenging to golfer currently in your routing? What is the immediate impact of topography, i.e within 20-50 yards of where you're standing?
A: Area. What is in the vicinity of the golfer that he is concerned with in the next 1-3 shots? Is the tee shot effective? Does the fairway flow into the green area?
N: Next. Okay, how does this hole fit into the bigger picture of the holes around it? Does it compliment the surrounds? Does it flow to the next hole?
I guess that could also be called micro-routing and macro-routing.
GarB,Yeah. In process of throwing it in the collection. I'm only halfway through Hamlyn's
World Atlas of Golf and Tom's
Confidential Guide. Halliday got mad when I tried to steal it from his house last night. It was so nice of him to include a CommonGround yardage book signed by Tom, Jim, and Placek
Tom,Was there is ever a consideration to use the current green complex at PD #14 as an ending point for a longer hole? I guess an example would be #7 at OM.
