Old Course Reverse Routing

Bill McBride wrote about a reverse routing.

Obviously, you can't just take off and play it that way. Do they have certain days when a reverse routing is used? How often do they do they do this?

You should also check out Jeremy Glenn's "In My Opinion" piece on this topic (just look to your left... :)).  This was a speculative essay, and I'm not sure if he got all the routings exactly right, but it is a superb piece of architectural analysis.

Bill B,
we had a pretty good turn out of GCAers last year. Nobody's mentioned it so far for '08.

Here's Links Trust, em, link... ;D

Any others up for a repeat performance?

WARNING: Whilst playing Reverse TOC may well increase your architectural understanding, it may also adversely affect your golf.
The Surgeon General says: "Revtoc can seriously affect your ability to swing a golf club".

Do you get a yardage book when playing it in reverse or is it all done by eye ?

Yes, you get a book.

Just as well, FBD's eyes weren't going to well.

Actually, he didn't read too well either.

Quite frankly, I couldn't have read it worse, were it in Braille.

Had a good time though! ;)

Martin,

Thanks for the link! I would think I should play it the normal way before the reverese, right?

Just checked with the boss at home...can't go til our youngest goes away to school...so its 2011 before I can do it...

Unless I go way with the guys...
