Golf Digest - World Rankings

I think Kidnappers is a bit high at #6 - ahead of Barnbougle ? And Kauri is also too high - not in Parap.'s class for mine.

Here is some info about how the survey was done. 
GD sent out surveys to all U.S. and Canadian panelists by email. The editors of the international editions and THEIR panels also weighed in. As the article says (page 115), it was a “global-panel survey” that included 609 panelists and 11,426 individual course evaluations.

Kevin,
I agree with your comments.  Maybe they ranked Kidnappers on its views alone and if they did it is to low.
