No one cares about the holes just bring the old fashioned candies!

I think it’s just a product of the exercise of choosing between only 2 holes. You need to pick holes from woodlands, and you need par 3s. Your not picking 6 at woodlands and going back to back, and people are afraid of 4 at links (or like 4 woodlands better).
I’m going to try tomorrow to create my perfect routing with 9 holes from each. No order to follow, just 9 holes.
I already know I’m taking Links #2 as my hole 1, as an homage to Eagle Springs #1

You’ve clearly never felt a sense of danger descending down to 3 green on a Finn scooter

It’s partially what Curry said about the nature of making 9 picks from each side.

3 on links is fine, but it’s one of the few holes out there where I’m looking at a building in the back drop that stands out aggressively because it’s white.

3 on woodlands is interesting (to me) because of of where it is. The lake being there as well as feeling it physically pull while standing on the green getting ready to putt.

I weighed it all out for the sake of the exercise and made a decision.

I heard it’s the deepest in the universe. They don’t even know where the bottom is, they say.

You can say that about virtually every hole at Links and Woodlands
