It is so hard to really try to put something in place when the actual topography will dictate what might be the best routing. Obviously, Tom, you have great experience in trying to create the best product. In talking with Bill Coore several years ago, he related that to he and Ben, it was important to try to design a golf course that has 18 very good holes, rather than a course that has a group of adequate holes and one or two spectatular holes...a la "the signature hole," a term far too overused and a concept that works for some, but apparently with designers who prefer to try to create a routing that has memorable holes that are enjoyable to play and "fit." Guess that leads to my opinion. Without seeing the land, topography, elevations, sites, surrounding land, and knowing how these holes fit with the remainder of the routing. But, might it be possible to have a 3-4-3, with a shortish 3 like the postage stamp, maybe not playing directly downwind, but angularly, then a 4 that might be about 400 yards, followed by the 3 par back into the wind? Whatever the best solution, living with the site for a while will provide you the answer. It has in the past. Use the force....Tom.
