8 of us went down to RND to play in there 4ball open today.
We all came off wandering what all the fuss is about.
There was a GM certificate on a table with 73 out of GM top 100 courses,seriously
im baffled.
Old clubhouse with great tradition,and to look at all the old photos,balls and clubs was great to see.
However from start to finish i was underwhelmed.
Not a great practice area,chipping area or warm up area,apart from a couple of nets.
Where was the signature hole,i cant remember,not one hole made me say wow or great hole.
Maybe im expecting more from a top 100 course
Yes i do think its a good links course,basically wild and free and natural,however i feel a
little deflated.
On a plus note the greens are true running and relatively quick,but many were just flat
and boring.:rolleyes:
 
All subjective but for me when the Castle course at St Andrews is in the top 100 I really can't take the list seriously at all.
