Now that we have pot bunkers it's stimulated me to make another links course (Cypress Point is on the back burner for now)

 

I'm aiming for the same feeling as Wells, but with a different twist...

 

Here are a couple of (very) early shots of what is currently planned to be the 17th (I never do things in order!)

Your planting eye/techniques on Linkscourses are outstanding .... I saw that directly when I opened up Well´s .... Your FPS on Well´s is also very decent .... It would be fantastic if you could reveal your views and techniques on planting Linkscourses in some sort of tutorial ... It would be extremely appriciated ... I lift my hat off,  Sir !

The way that I work is rather haphazard but I may put up a Youtube video at some point.

Has a kind of 17th at whistling straits kind of feel? A great golf hole that.

Love links courses looking forward to seeing more with the inclusion of pot bunkers.

The more I tinker with Course Forge, the more I appreciate just how talented are the guys who are turning out the courses we enjoy playing. Plaudits to all of you CF designers.

For me as an old Linkster, I find it like when the APCD came out. There was some good stuff, then you would dabble yourself and think things looked OK, then a few guys would release some courses that raised the bar that bit more. As time went on the bar kept creeping up and up.

 

The likes of me then decided to leave the APCD to the big boys and I'd just enjoy the fruits of their labour.

 

So to quote Ed.....

 

Plaudits to all of you CF designers.

I've purchased a decent microphone and plan to post some videos, starting from next week.  Basically they will be me designing whilst trying to vocalise my thought process.  I figure that even if no one watches them I may get some benefit out of hearing my thoughts out loud (although probably not!!)
