Top 100 - More thoughts

I thought I'd post on and off on this subject today and tomorrow and then move on.

Here's some thoughts on misplaced courses.

1. National - this is simply not the best we have to offer in Canada

2. Beacon Hall - never got this one, never will, a nice club on a nice piece of property with very safe architecture. Does not make my top 25

4. Paintbrush - love the course, but a little too high

9. Shauaghnessy - this is proof that too much extra credit is given for hosting an open (see Glen Abbey)

11. Taboo - way too high, nice course, but service far exceeeds the quality of the course (or does that matter?)

13. Glen Abbey - not in my top 25, just look at the front nine by itself and tell me the course is great

23. Copper Creek - I worked on this an even I know it's wrong

35. Osprey Valley Heathlands - top 25, Carrick Design's best detailing ever

47. Bear Mountain - is a new course, what gives?

49. Summit - misunderstood for how good it is, too understated perhaps, should be top 25

54. St. Thomas - easily a top 15-20 if you go and see the course

57. Catarqui - top 20, a great piece of Thompson history

59. Marine Drive - a completely dull course played down a "hallway"

62. Laval - sufferes from no visitors, great back nine

63. Rosedale - other than being short please tell me where the weakness is?

67. Scarboro - could be top 10 and no worse than 20. Never understand why people don't get this one is it just yardage?

72. Mt. Bruno is definately a top 25 candidate, but may be access is the issue

76. Beaconsfield - may favourite Montreal layout gets no love, is this still fall out from the Ladies Open? Top 25-30

84. Glendale - This course is a bit of a sleeper, worth seeing

86. Lake Joseph - the top 10 was silly , but so is this

I already supplied my list of courses that should have made this.
