02.04 Augusta National Golf Club:
Kåret til USAs beste bane
Golf Digest kårer de beste banene i USA og ellers i verden hvert annet år. I år
har Augusta National passert Pine Vallet GC på Golf Digests liste over "Amerika's
100 Greatest Golf Courses".
Det er bare andre gang i løpet av de 25 siste årene at Pine Valey ikke har vært
på toppen. I 2001 var det Pebble Beach som tronet på toppen. Pebble Beach er nr
6 på rankingen denne gangen og nr 1 på listen over "the 100 Greatest Public
Golf Courses".
Ønsker du litt bakgrunnsstoff om banen og noen historiske høydepunkter, kan du

På Golf Digests hjemmeside står det å lese:
"Golf Digest has conducted America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses rankings since
1966, making it the oldest and most respected ranking in the game. The 100
Greatest package, which also includes America's 100 Greatest Public Courses and
the 100 Best Courses Outside the United States, appears in the May 2009 issue
of Golf Digest (on newsstands April 7). Complete rankings, including the list
of the Best Courses in Each State and a database of every course that has
appeared on one or more of Golf Digest's national rankings, will also be
available online at www.golfdigest.com/go/100greatest starting April 6.
Rounding out the Top 10 on America's 100 Greatest are: No. 3 Shinnecock Hills
Golf Club, No. 4 Cypress Point Club, No. 5 Oakmont Country Club, No. 7 Merion
Golf Club (East), No. 8 Winged Foot Golf Club (West), No. 9 Fishers Island Club
- up from No. 16 in 2007 and the only new addition to the top-10 - and No. 10
Seminole Golf Club.
"Although the architectural changes at Augusta National have received criticism
over the past few years, our panel consensus ranked it No. 1," said Ron Whitten,
Golf Digest Senior Editor of Architecture. "We evaluate seven different aspects
of each course's design, and while it's hard to pinpoint individual reasons for
a course's ranking, I think it's fair to say that Shot Values and Resistance to
Scoring were the likely categories that contributed to Augusta's elevation."
Because America's 100 Greatest includes private courses that most readers don't
have access to, Golf Digest established a ranking of America's 100 Greatest
Public Courses in 2003 to showcase the top courses in the nation that are open
to all golfers.
Behind Pebble Beach at No. 1, the Top 10 on America's 100 Greatest Public
Courses includes: No. 2 Pacific Dunes, No. 3 Whistling Straits (Straits), No. 4
The Ocean Course in Kiawah Island, No. 5 Bethpage State Park (Black), No. 6
Pinehurst Resort & Country Club (No. 2), No. 7 Bandon Dunes, No. 8 Shadow Creek
Golf Course, No. 9 TPC Sawgrass (Players Stadium Course) and No. 10 Arcadia
Bluffs Golf Club.
To determine America's 100 Greatest, America's 100 Greatest Public and the Best
Courses in Each State, Golf Digest's more than 900 panelists nationwide played
and rated thousands of courses on seven criteria, each on a scale of 1 to 10:
Shot Values, Resistance to Scoring, Design Variety, Memorability, Aesthetics,
Conditioning and Ambience. After panelists filed their evaluations, Golf Digest
averaged the scores of the seven categories (scores in the Shot Values category
count double) and totaled the averages to determine the overall rankings.
The international rankings were compiled from ballots submitted by U.S. and
international golf-course panelists, editors among Golf Digest's network of 23
editions of the magazine and other affiliate magazines around the world.
A course must be two years old to be considered for America's 100 Greatest Golf
Courses and at least a year old for any other ranking. All panelists involved
in the ratings travel and play at their own expense and on their own timetables.
Eight courses not in the previous ranking made the 2009-2010 list of America's
100 Greatest Golf Courses:
No. 27 - The Club at Black Rock, Coeur d'Alene, ID
No. 39 - Sebonack Golf Club, Southampton, NY
No. 42 - Canyata Golf Club, Marshall, IL
No. 68 - Stone Canyon Club, Oro Valley, AZ
No. 76 - Aronimink Golf Club, Newtown Square, PA
No. 80 - Bandon Trails, Bandon, OR
No. 83 - Eagle Point Golf Club, Wilmington, NC
No. 100 - Crooked Stick Golf Club, Carmel, IN
