All we'd want out of it is the knowledge that we designed such and such a hole at such and such a course. If I do say so myself, some of them are pretty bloody good golf holes.

For the ones I rally get into, I shade them with colour to accent them. I'll try to post some so Jack and Tithers can tear them apart for me.

A mate and I use to do the same thing at school and then play them by flicking a pencil from the tee to a hole on the green which was a small circle. There were penalty shots if you missed the fairway or put it in a bunker. That mate is now a golf course architect as well!! Id like to see some of your designs and have you explain the strategy.

I too used to play that game, GREAT GREAT stuff, i got 1000 holes from it lying around, maybe i have a career, i once designed a whole course, each page of my book was a hole, and at the end i tore all 18 out and stuck them together and colored in the gaps, big 18 hole course, with clubhouse design and all
