Melvin,
I haven’t been to Askernish but would love to go someday – it is a long way! But, we (gca’s and golfers in general) can all look to older courses that have close green to tee connections to use as models for what works. Walking is always a consideration for me, even if the client will have golf carts for people. I like to put the priority on the walking experience and visuals, maybe giving carts a trail that isn’t as convenient but instead is at least not disrupting the line of sight, if at all possible.
Cheers,
Mike
