I really have enjoyed the series and look forward to reading about Tillie. <BR/><BR/>You are not alone in your preference for NGLA's Redan (presumably) over North Berwick's. I think Macdonald was not in favour of utlizing blind hazards. I would counter that a significant aspect of the strategy of a Redan is that it plays slightly uphill to offer the choice of either ground or aerial game - the hole would have been considered a fairly long par 3 in its day and many could not fly the green. I don't know if the semi-blindness is a design imperative for the hole or simply a by-product of the slightly uphill nature of the original hole. In any case, I like the element of doubt presented by the original tee shot and I do think blind features can be planned for once the player knows the features exist.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422617014941117513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22934142.post-7731823637381201872007-07-10T07:39:00.000-04:002007-07-10T07:39:00.000-04:00Sean,You can tell I'm writing in a rush - I'm not ...Sean,<BR/><BR/>You can tell I'm writing in a rush - I'm not self-editing right now because I can't afford the time.<BR/><BR/>Essentially being able to clearly see the strategy of the hole and visualize the ideal point of approach allows the player more ability to plan the approach shot on the redan. The old hole was blind and required an element of faith when hitting the shot. <BR/><BR/>I perfer Macdonalds version of the hole.Ian Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778036519095579401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22934142.post-90588706696118924772007-07-10T05:25:00.000-04:002007-07-10T05:25:00.000-04:00IanYour line "His improvements, such as making the...Ian<BR/><BR/>Your line "His improvements, such as making the Redan downhill to make it more visible, but also more viable, were dramatic improvements." leaves me perplexed. I understand the "visible" aspect of the quote, though I believe that once a so called Redan is made into a downhill hole then a very important aspect of the strategy is altered - namely the ground game. I do not understand what "viable" means. Could you please explain.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422617014941117513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22934142.post-82280544195905470402007-07-09T18:52:00.000-04:002007-07-09T18:52:00.000-04:00Anonymous,I will explain my reasoning fairly soon ...Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>I will explain my reasoning fairly soon - perhaps you will take the time to write out why you disagree with me.<BR/><BR/>I wrote out the final four at the same time - sections at a time - it offered me know reason to change my mind.<BR/><BR/>While I admire the National as a personal favourite - I don't admire the continued reliance on the template hole afterwards.
