Tom,
No one doubts that rating 800 courses is a Herculian task, one where the numbers makes it almost impossible to conduct an in depth analysis of each course.
It's kind of like "speed dating"
But, if you're going to give a course a "thumbs up" versus a "thumbs down" isn't a course entitled to an architectural form of "due process" ?
Especially with your "new found" notoriety and reputation ?
I happened to like the concept of the "Gourmet's Choice".
If I had to value a book, I'd rather have an expanded version of the "Gourmet's Choice" where you provide in depth analysis based on intimate experience with those 80 courses, rather than "drive by shootings" of 800 courses.
But, I understand the nature of "book sales"
My thought would be to publish the expanded "Gourmet's Choice" and add to it with each course that you're able to review in detail.
Maybe it's a product made for the internet rather than print publishing.
But, I'd rather read your book evaluating 80 courses you played than your book based on 800 courses you whizzed around in a cart.
Despite what you may think, I value your opinion...............................most of the time.
