What makes a great golf course is continuity and variety: right-to-left holes, left-to-right holes.

I know the other side. I know what awful golf is.
Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.
It's quite nice to play on a golf course that, even though it is links, that there's not much wind, which is good.
Golf's a great game, and you meet a lot of people along the way.
The first time I played golf was in Flushing Meadows, Queens, when I was about 16 or 17. They had an 18-hole pitch-and-putt. My buddies and I would hop the fence and sneak on and play.
I've seen the bottom and I know the difference between good golf and bad golf.
