I participated in Ontario Golf's Top 50 courses in Ontario panel. Now mine was quite a bit different from the final list (I'll detail some of the issues in a coming post), but I thought it might interest some people to see the Top 50 in the province as decided by the panel, which included 50 people ranging from media to golf pros. It is an interesting list and the decision to publish the names of the panelists and their top five courses makes this list an intriguing proposition. More ratings panels should be this transparent.
