I have since agreed to change my verbiage. So, if we agree to use "gathering slopes" instead of "punchbowls" then I can look at my yardage guide and note all of the greens at Tobacco Road that feature gathering slopes that cover at least 75% of their respective edges, as well as several Strantz "figure eight" greens where at least one half of the green meets the same criteria. It's more than alright to still subjectively embrace Strantz's green designs but one can't objectively deny my basis for this argument . If you do objectively deny it, please send said correspondence to Scott Brady, owner of the Precise Yardage Books, via preciseyardagebooks@gmail.com and let him know the arrows in his guides are incorrect. If I gotta figure out Flickr, so be it.
1) Slopes gather inward from front, left, right, both outside of green and from edge of green.
2) Slopes gather inward from front and back of green.
3) Not a gathering green.
4) Not a gathering green (because I agree that a kicker slope to one side of a green is very different idea)
5) Slopes gather inward from left, back, and right, both outside of green and from edge of green.
6) The left portion of this "figure eight" green feeds to the center from front, left and back of green.
7) I wouldn't call this a gathering green although the yardage guide does suggest a gathering area at front tip.
I wouldn't call this a gathering green although the yardage guide does suggest a gathering area at back-right.
9) Slopes gather inward from left and right of green.
10) Slopes gather inward at every point except for front-left entryway.
11) Gathers inward dramatically from left, back and right on lower tier, less dramatically from left and right on back tier.
12) Gathers into the green from left, front and right sides.
13) Gathers into the green from front and back of green, but I agree with your comment that one can't expect eternal grace.
14) Front tier gathers in from front, left and back. Back tier gathers in from all four sides.
15) Left side gathers in from all but front-left corner. Right side gathers in from front, left and a decent chunk of the back.
16) I wouldn't call this a gathering green but I just now noticed the back tier of this green does actually gather in from all four sides.
17) Tough to believe, but the entirety of the front edge of this green gathers in and maybe 60% of the back edge.
18) I'll give the benefit of the doubt as this green only gathers balls in from back and left sides.
Having just played there and being able to refresh my memory with this topic in mind…
1 - Slight gathering, not a punchbowl. Just front left to back right overall slope.
2 - Mild punchbowl feel, front and back and sides slope slightly inward. My memory was more just back-to-front slope but that's not the case.
3 - Not a punchbowl at all. Side slopes or back-boards (not really in the same place).
4 - Not a punchbowl. Kicker slope on the right is about it.
5 - Not a punchbowl. False fronts and backs.
6 - Not a punchbowl.
7 - Front left has a bowl, but it's not a punchbowl.
8 - Not a PB.
9 - Side slopes left and right, but it's a VERY narrow green that plays a bit wider. Not much helping front or back.
10 - Not a PB.
11 - Not a PB. Just sloping.
12 - Kicker side slopes, but not a PB.
13 - Eh. Y'all know this one. Too small with too much danger around to be a PB.
14 - No.
15 - No.
16 - Big false front, tier, some side slopes.
17 - Not a PB.
18 - No.
I think TR has a good # of holes that have some side slopes or kickers (often not super wide before you get into some bad lies that are then above the green surface, or it falls off into a bunker or something). Nothing I'd really truly call a punchbowl, though #2 comes closest I would guess.
