That a hole should have a legitimate route from the pad to the basket? Yeah, that's a pretty standard view, for any player that has gone beyond recreational status.

On what basis?

I'm not trying to be a jerkstore of nothin, but this is kind of what I am talking about. Based on what you have said here, I would have zero interest in reading a review of yours.

Narcotics skew perception and to speak from such a vantage point violates my better sensibilities.

Really? I think it has everything to do with course design. But hey, if you aren't concerned with the legitimacy of certain holes, thats your business.

And yes, I think peope should have to take drug tests if they want to write reviews.

I don't think it is a matter of intelligence and I am not trying to question the intentions of any newer players that write reviews. However, without a good understanding of what the top pro's can do on a course, it's hard to be objective.

Maybe people should add in their score from the last time they played the course. When people tell me about how great concerts were, I always ask them what drugs they were on. Drugs make a difference, for sure.

Are you suggesting limiting the newer players function abilities to a checklist, with items such as teepads and signs on it, with a box to check?

Don't get me wrong. I am very helpful to beginners on the course. I never hesitate to teach people about the game. I never say no to someone who is looking for a course guide.

Are courses designed for "those casuals"? I sure hope not. It would be a terrible waste of what limited resources we have.

Think of this from a business stand point. Why would you create something for a demographic that does not exist? Par 3's were created to meet a demand. The demand was from golfers who want to play, but don't have 4 or 5 hours to commit to it. I understand exactly what you are saying and I...

Par 3's aren't for beginners. They are for golfers in a hurry and poor people.

Actually, this is a good discussion. I would prefer all of the courses to be long, championship courses, but I would also prefer to get paid a billion dollars every week at work, doesn't mean it's going to happen. Ball golf courses are made for good golfers. PAR is established by pro...

That's a solid point. That said, it seems as though the easiest solution would be to let people know if it is beginner friendly or not. Any information, outside of that, should be left to the more experienced players. Again, this is just my opinion. I would never want to read a review of a...
