                    Comments and Course Notes

     Course Name: Cut & Shoot Golf Ranch
     Location:    Cut & Shoot, Texas -- population 568
     Length\Par:  7276\par 73 championship tees
     Wind:        Strong south wind
     Design:      Original JNSE design by Jim Morrow (c)
                  completed December, 1992. All rights reserved!

     Objects and Backgrounds: The background I believe originated
     on Scorpion, one of Mark Willett's designs. Its been        
     modified but not that much. Other objects can be attributed 
     to Lee Ritze, Scott Chesney, Mark Willett, Joe Blankenship,
     Brian Silvernail and Phil McCloud. If I missed someone, I
     sincerely apologize.

     Special thanks to Bill Claybourn who play tested the course.

     Plot layout: It was borrowed from Phil McCloud's Sunningdale
     I liked his use of the paledit program designed by John     
     Kuniyk, so quite frankly I borrowed it. John's new palette
     editor is much easier to use and I will certainly use it for
     future designs.

     Palette: To get the real effect of the overheads, you'll    
     have to review the course in the Design mode. Its my
     understanding that JNSE 'takes back' the original palette
     for overheads. Thus the dramatic sand colors can only be
     be seen as you play the course, but not as you view it.

      will have to disappoint you. You will have to develop your 
      own. We all play the course somewhat differently. Some hit
      fades - right or left, some hit through the power bar, and
      some play very conservative. I tried to make Cut and Shoot
      playable to all... but not on every hole. You will hit     
      fades on some; hit conservative on others and gamble with  
      the power bar on others. Hopefully I've made it enjoyable
      with enough variety to keep it on your hard disk to play
      it again.

      Controversy: If played from the Championship tees Cut and 
      Shoot is long; at 7276 yards it is 500 yards longer than my
      layout but my feelings are if you want shorter... then play
      from the pro or mens tees. In my opinion, a championship    
      course should be long, but that's only one man's opinion!   
 
      On four holes (1,2,12,and 18) they exceed 450 yards; but    
      only one plays to a par 5, and its the shortest of the 4. I 
      also believe its the toughest of the four on the approach   
      to the green. I debated with changing more than one of the  
      par 4's; hole # 2 was a par 5 at one time but then again    
      hole # 18 was a par 4, too. 

      Since I felt # 18 was the toughest of the four and the      
      closing hole, it became the par 5 for two reasons. Who      
      wants to shoot 74 and not break par and besides who doesn't 
      want to be shooting for a birdie - or perhaps an eagle - on 
      18? It keeps one coming back!
      
      Hole layout: As with most of my JNSE designs, the Cut and   
      Shoot Golf Ranch has its origins from other famous courses  
      in the USA and Canada. The 'best' or most exciting holes    
      were not selected, but mainly hole layouts that fit into    
      this course's layout or surroundings. All hole layouts have 
      a close resemblance to the specific hole used as the        
      'model'; however that may be where the resemblance ends.    
      The elevation, terrain, length and shape of the green will  
      vary. With this design I added the creek bed, so some holes 
      have changed drastically.

      The designers at Chasing Rainbows used the following hole   
      layouts to develop the Championship course at the Golf      
      Ranch: 
                     #  yards/par                    # yards/par

      Yes and No: Cut and Shoot, Texas is a real town located     
      almost due north from Houston's Intercontinental Airport.   
      Its located on Highway 105 between Conroe and Security on   
      the edge of the Sam Houston National Forest. Take           
      Interstate 45 from Houston, then turn east onto Hwy 105.    
      Down the road aways is the sign for the Golf Ranch. Drive   
      real slow or you might miss the entrance. Just come on by   
      anytime, there always seems to be a foursome fixin' to tee  
      off!
