Designer's self-reviews
I feel as though I've designed/built some solid courses. But I've never given one of my courses a perfect 5 rating, as tempting as it might be.
In one case, I had to wait quite a while to post my review, because the first 4 or 5 were perfect 5's and I didn't want to be the one to screw up the perfect rating.
I try to be objective about the end product (though it's NEVER really completed)
And I will ALWAYS have more back-story than anyone else. Let's face it, it's very rare indeed to be able to pull off all you had imagined for your course.
My most recent course was listed before it was ready. So, one early review was a '3' because it still had borrowed single chain baskets and rubber mats, which have now been replaced with two shiny new DC28s and concrete pads per fairway. But the irrelevant review remains.
A newer reviewer also gave it a "3" because two fairways were close together, but the tees were too far apart???? (Played 2 courses. Reviewed 2 courses)
Great. Thanks for getting your review practice at my expense.
I've written a note to the early reviewer and asked him to consider an update, based on recent improvements... no response.
But what does one do about an "unfair" review that is obviously from a noob?
