March Madness Meets GCA
« on: March 13, 2010, 05:00:18 PM »
So, which courses are like College B-Ball(exciting even with a bunch of errors)?

Which features are like the back court press(wears you down before you even have a chance at the scoring shot)?

Which features are most representative of a pesky defense(you have a shot, but always a chance of having it rejected)?

Other similarities?

 8) JH,

Dye's  Oak Tree reminds me of the old UCLA full court press.. relentless management and shotmaking required to succeed against it..


p.s. it was 75F in Houston today :<))

Any Raynor reminds me of Duke.

Not overly concerned about aesthetics, but fundamentally sound with a lot of strategy.
If you don't concentrate you'll turn many strokes over.
By today's standards, not very long courses. Duke is never a very big team, at least not in the last decade.
Play on great sites, and your face will be blue by the end of both, though for different reasons.
Often near the top of the rankings.

One difference. People like Raynor courses.  ;D

UK's Demarcus Cousins is a bunker in the sky, ala the tree at the 11th green at Harbour Town, rejecting shots all day long.

The entire Kentucky team today would be Dead Horse Lake GC in Knoxville.  Something like "you can't beat a ...."
29 points says we (UT) can't either. :(

Jim Calhoun is Oakmont--relentlessly abrasive.

As for the UConn team, just find the course with lots of potential that goes utterly unrealized.
