details of the discussion aside for a moment, I'm always impressed by the sheer generosity of Jeff B's posts on this board: the time and effort he puts in, and the details he provides, says a lot about him. It says, IMO, that the decisons he makes vis-a-vis his golf course designs are likely equally thoughtful and well-considered.

Peter,
Thanks for the nice comments. I may have said this before, but one reason I do participate is that I like to see if I can clarify my own thoughts on design. There really are a lot od designers out there - and I count myself as formerly one of those - who don't know why they do things. Perhaps some never think about it past the fact that their old boss did them that way.
My late father used to tell me that if you can't describe something succinctly, you probably don't really know what you are thinking. Worse yet, it probably isn't a very good idea! So, golf club atlas is kind of like yoga for the mind........
Seriously, I think one problem on this site, which may never be solved is when a basic idea - are little contours in greens good ideas - get a name attached to it, whether with a course or gca favorite like C and C, or a non favorite, like a Fazio, the discussion turns to something other than architectural idea.
Jaka B would have better served the board by leaving C and C out of the title, even if including their name does conjour up the image of what he is talking about for many of us here. Real world examples are easier to grasp than esoteric concepts, for sure.
Why can't we discuss whether (or in reality to what degree) greens with internal bumps are appropriate for golf courses?
