While I'm looking for greatness in this blog, there will be times when the context is nowhere near that.
"How can this be a great hole?" you may sometimes wonder, as you browse these pages. "Last time I played it, there were tractor marks on the tees, used condoms on the green and you couldn't tell where fairway ended and light rough began."
As much as that kills the aesthetics, however, it doesn't necessarily stand in the way of greatness. Not in a blog that's devoted to golf course design rather than golf course conditioning.
I'm all about angles of approach, risk-and-reward, and green complexes. Not whether the place could do justice to a Ralph Lauren photoshoot.
So, if I occasionally seem to be bigging up some golfing hell-hole, ask yourself this. If the course were manicured to Tour standards, graced with brilliant sunshine, and had galleries full of Beautiful People as far as the eye could see, might you at least begin to see where I'm coming from?
