- Variety and memorability of par 3s, 4s and 5s - Different clubs hit; extent to which the angles of play create interesting and varied playing options; and extent to which holes offer variety of options from the tee and on the second shot.
- Basic quality of conditioning - Variety of playing textures; extent of turf coverage; consistency and quality of bunker sand.
- Walk in the park test - Degree to which the course ultimately is worth spending a half-day on.

In my opinion, playing piano is the greatest talent in one person who decided to initiate this education. Therefore, once I also had a desire to learn more about it and one day I came across one article containing an information about types of guitar pickups, how guitar pickup type affects tone. So with the assistance of this source I achieved more knowledges about music components and now I have the comprehension how it works. So I hope it will help you to familiarise with music in a short time.
