"Jam session" to put the 'swing' in Swinkelsche

Not a term I've heard used in a golf course design context before but I rather like it - Dutch architect Frank Pont on teaming up with Jeff Mingay and shaper Conor Walshe on the De Swinkelsche project in the Netherlands:
"I've always wanted to sort of do the equivalent of a jam session in building a golf course...being joined by Jeff and Conor...comes very close to that idea." 
Just one reservation: please don't let it be one of those 'free jazz'-style jam sessions, otherwise the De Swinkelsche patrons can look forward to 18 heavily tricked-up holes and a course that doesn't actually go anywhere.
