Re: Bias and Preference in Golf Course Evaluation
« Reply #50 on: Today at 02:19:13 PM »
I was a rater for a couple of years, in hindsight, I saw the course thru the eyes of a 4 handicap, and my preference was for eye candy, elevation change, challenging sand traps, forced carries and enough width to allow my natural draw to start our just to the right of the fairway.


So I hated courses with overgrown trees, flat minimialistic course, anything that was boring.


I don't think I was a good rater based on my game and preferences, but I bet, most raters weren't a whole lot different if they would admit it.
Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta
