Sir,
You should learn about golf course design before you comment. ALL of Robert Trent Jones courses from the beginning of time NEVER have forced carrys to the green. He always provided a lay up route or a bump and run up to the green. He was always known for that in his designs. Also his tee boxes were ALWAYS one long box aimed the wrong way. Not many small boxes. Some of our supers have changed that for why I don't know. George |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: A friend of mine who is a serious golfer said a Robert Trent Jones course built 40 years ago in what he describes as the "dark ages" of course design would by nature be a difficult course for older players. He cited that most greens are trapped on the front and both sides so the golfer must "fly" his or her approach shot into the green and for older golfers that can be difficult. Maybe we should convert it to a public course with tee times on a first come first serve basis and advertise it to the package players as a "challenging" layout, post the par and slope (isn't that how the difficulty of a course is rated?) and see what happens? |
