"It is no criterion of a good course that the record is high. This is usually an indication of a bad course, and only too frequently means that the putting surfaces are untrue, the approaches unfair and the greens small and blind. On the contrary, if the average score is high but the records extremely low - sixty-four or sixty-five for a course under seven thousand yards - it usually means that a first class player gets full reward for accurate play."
