Next Fifty - Quaker Ridge
« on: September 28, 2004, 05:20:36 PM »
I have a quick one day trip to NY for business and I will be playing Quaker Ridge.  I would like to submit the course review.  Any suggestions or thoughts, as I know this group can be critical and can expect a lot and I dont want to screw my first one up!  Thanks,
Alex

Enjoy your round there -- regarding posting -- all I can say is make sure you count your fingers before you post -- you may find after the hounds begin to bark that you finish with 9 or less. ;D

On the serious side -- try to provide clear details -- avoid the cliche and easy answers -- e.g. it was a good / bad hole -- I want to know why. Try to avoid "brand" name witch spells. Just because your playing a "name" course do not fall for the notion that because others say one think you must fall in line like some wooden soldier. Minus the very few elite courses all courses have warts -- some much larger than others.

Like I said count your fingers -- also take a count on your toes too! ;D

Alex,

There are very little rules for this site and thats why its so successful IMO.  Anything you write will be unique because its from you and nobody else - and it will educate most on here (like me from England) just a little more into some of your finest courses and their playability.

Look forward to reading it.

Alex -

Just to be clear, the Courses by Country write-ups are written exclusively by our main man Ran Morrissett, as is the Next Fifty list.

I ape his prose style and format when I do course reviews because I think that it is a fine way to do them. Plus I am too lazy to come up with my own format.
