So you actually think there's a difference (technically or in common parlance) between 'unbirdiable' and 'nonbirdiable'. If so, you're coming across as more stubborn and foolish than you need to be. Oh well....

Birdiable (while not a real word according to Webster's New World Dictionary, 2nd Edition - so you're already treading on thin ice) is 'understood' by golfers as something that is able to be birdied. "Un", as a prefex, means, "not". Not able to be birdied. It's an absolute. No birdies...

Then I suggest you find another term for this. "Unbirdiable" means "cannot be birdied". There isn't a dictionary for 'design purposes' that is different than that for everything else.

Steve, I believe you stated (in a previous post): "There are two reasons why golf has almost no (but not zero) unbirdiable holes". Do you actually mean "unbirdiable" or do you mean "haven't been birdied"? Karl

JW92, Think of it this way: if player A doesn't want to "be involved" in the determination of if player B is 'in or out', (it ends up that he was 'in'), and B aggregously steps/falls over, is called on it by player C, how can A - in good faith, and correctly - second the call? There may be a...

Seems like a case of one more 'yea' vote for the use of DZs.

Wow, Great news. Just short of 400 courses played world-wide and it's in my top 3. Kevin and Bryan did a great job. I can still remember 12/29/2004 when Cubby and I played THREE full 18s there. In over a dozen years of playing a LOT of dg with him, it was the only time I've ever heard him...

Except then I wouldn't have been able to throw my Epics (which I think came out around 2002...predating Orcs, Destroyers, etc.)! ;)
