Hi Delboy,

I think that you'll find that when you play longer courses, you'll be better off.

A short course gives you a couple of advantages:

1) Without using course management, you'll theoretically get much more short game practice (chips, pitches, 1/2 swings) than you would on a 'full size' course.

2) A short course is a great place to learn course management - especially if it's tight, like you say. Now all of a sudden landing zones become much more apparent - and you should be able to 'see' them better, after some practice.
