Hi Goran,
finally got around to downloading Winston Heath. What a fun little course. Didn't realise you and Brad had posted rounds above, so played mine on Medium/Normal/Pin 2. Here it is if you want to have a look.
Cheers
Brad

Re: Winston Heath GC by Göran Mentzer
Thanks for playing Brad.
When I started designing Winston Heath after a very long hiatus, I made it for playing it myself in the spirit of early 1900 course lengths and with reduced club settings. I use CC settings 15-15-0-0-0 when not playing in your Oldtimers Tour, and still play under par here if I really try. But I also thought of placing bunkers for full skill setting drives, but not powerdriving unfortunately.
EDIT: I kind of regret I did not place the black tees further back to make the course more interesting for skilled players, it is 500 yards shorter than the average PGA course. But I was not aware at the time of designing it that it was possible to powerdrive so long and accurate like Tarheel and you proved with your attached rounds.
