At the 2008 Canadian Champs in New Brunswick I gave a presentation on course planning at the COF Conference. A few people asked if I would put the PowerPoint presentation onto the web. I've finally done this - the link is on the new
Barebones Course Planning Resources page.
On this page, beside my presentation - and much more useful - are links to a series of four articles by Barry Elkington about setting the four 'lowest' courses for the kids and beginners. Excellent stuff - well worth reading.
