He did say completely subjective. I know there are people that would put me very high up their list, and people I would not even make their top 100. What counts though, I can release a course, pick up nearly a hundred plays in a couple of days, so I know I have fans of my work. My last release, Coastal Taipan, has a 9.4 PC rating after 73 plays in a couple days. I don't think anyone on this list has ever done that. Sure they get the instant few hundred plays, but they don't ever get that rating. I know there are people who like what I do, and that's what keeps me going, and I really don't live or die by his recognition, but I do enjoy what he does for the community and appreciate his work. Thank you for the mention Mrooola, gave me the opportunity to plug my course...... I played a course of yours last night, can't remember the name but it was a Delta. IMO your best course.

So you can expect BoomBoom to only punch you in the face 31 times then. Good deal!

Personally BoomBoom, you're more deserving than quite a few that was mentioned on that list, including myself.
I think that this was maybe not such a good idea to rank the designers (mentioning who you think they are is fine, but ranking them is where the subjectivity really takes over) ...
And knowing what someone calls good, another calls trash.

It also comes down to how many courses from each designer the reviewer has played, and which ones he has played. All personal opinions are subjective.
FWIW, Horned Viper is one of my favorite courses. I also played Glen Abbey which was quite nice as well. I haven't gotten around to Bethpage or Rattlesnake Point.

I think these types of lists are really cool. They are subjective, but is that a problem? I don't think so. Kudos Andre for making it. Very cool and interesting. I don't agree with it, but that is sort of the point. How boring would it be if we all felt the same?
Only thing I think is weird is that some seem to think only a select few are entitled to make such a list. Read it here and heard it on the pod cast. Nonsense imo.

One person's opinion expressed in a ranking is 100% fine and nobody should be upset about it in any way. If someone would like my spot feel free to take it.
It's just a guy saying "here's my ranking". who cares? Why is CrazyCanuck's opinion worth any more than any other? I love you Crazy but you're just another jack off like the rest of us so...*shrug* ;-)
My list would be different. YOUR list would be different. EVERYBODY's list would be different. Crazy was just brave/stupid enough to put it in a blog post.

BTW I had you at #1, followed by pyates and then arctic, but hell it's just one courageous man's opinion, so kudos to him for doing something like this. I certainly enjoyed seeing who was up next. Well time to go be a jack off in some other area of the forums

Please don't think i sounded sour, as I said, it was subjective, personally could not care if I was #1 or 100. I like designing, I design what I like, when I like it. Like I said, I'm sure I make someones elses list and not others, it's all just personal tastes and i get that.
I like what he does for the community, I'm not taking the fact I did not make his list personally, In fact i think by now i know exactly what i could design to make his list, I'm just not interested in building that kind of course. I spend a few hundred hours per course, I need be interested in what I'm doing.
In fact I like his list, and each and every designer mentioned is completely and 100 percent deserving of a spot on that list and all for different reasons.
In additional fact, I consider myself to be still learning this design game and I think I made a pretty big break through with Coastal Taipan that should help improve my work from here on in.
I feel there's room for flat bunkers, bad bunkers, great bunkers, big trees, small trees, big plants, small plants, forested courses, barren courses, there's room for it all. I refuse to be pigeon holed into any one persons thoughts on what makes a good design. There's a lot of pressure around here for a single kind of course and IMHO we have plenty of those already, so this list, is just that, just another list.
