If the book were to exclude the 0-5's one would miss many enjoyable courses as well as some of the best commentary on the 0-1's
If the book simply lists commentary on 6's and above, how is it any different than a Golf Digest places to play, all with glowing commentary.
Examples?
Machrie? 4 .......nuff said, but I'll go on
Pacific Grove 4-.....if there was no commentary, you wouldn't know to play the back nine
Dunaverty 2 That's right a 2!!! Players spending several days near Machrihanish would be DAFT to miss an afternoon at this place
Shiskine 2... pretty unique and fun place to play golf
The point is The CG initially brought these to my attention and the commentary piqued my interest.
Do you really need a guide to tell you about Muirfield, NGLA, and St. Andrews
The unique and (formerly) lesser known gems, as well as Tom's commentary, are what made this book a must have originally, not a
list of trophy courses...IMHO
