If you want to pay $2.99 for Golf Magazine's Front9 app, you can see the 8 courses that are new to their top 100 lists. It's odd that they want to make you pay to see the list, but from there you can openly share the direct link freely to the masses through Facebook, email, twitter, etc.

Alex,

I will shave my head if Alotian cracks the W100.

Alex,

I will shave my head if Alotian cracks the W100.  Golf Digest is known for their fairly horrible rankings and Alotian being one of them. 

Just to show you the mind fuck that is Golf Digest's rankings:

Castle Pines
Victoria National
Rich Harvest
Double Eagle
Diamond Creek

These above five rank WELL ahead of the following:

Shoreacres
Maidstone
Somerset Hills
Ballyneal
Winged Foot East

How far ahead of these courses are they....these five are at the very end of the list.  But, Alotian is at 14. 

Golf Digest rankings are a complete joke. 

I am assuming you have played Victoria National.

I believe we are about a month or so away from Golf Magazine's new World 100 list.  Given there has not been a lot of new courses opened in the last couple years will we see much change?  I have a feeling the following courses might appear:

Rock Creek Cattle Company
Lost Farm
Old Mac
Castle Stuart
Royal Hague
Kennemer

I am guessing that these might exit:
Royal Porthcawl
Cabo del Sol
Waterville
Oitavos Dunes
Tokyo

Any other guesses...


Well you were 3 for 5 on the new entries. I will go out on a limb and say you will be shutout on your exit list.
