Who said golf is a game of avoiding hazards?
Evan Schiller. A former panelist once noted that golf was a game of avoiding hazards; thus, the more challenging and numerous the hazards, the greater the course. In 1989, this course finished No. 72 in our World Top 100 (meaning U.S. Top ~35) but no more.
What is a reversible golf course?
By definition, a reversible course often requires the player to be able to approach the greens from two different directions — and that means a lack of framing around the greens. Some grouse about a “lack of definition” and that the course is “understated,” while others think it epitomizes great design. If you think the idea of a reversible course is gimmicky, remember that the Old Course at St. Andrews has been played in reverse for well more than a century. History is on the side of reversible courses.
