Synopsis

Golf course design is currently a very lucrative career, with new courses springing up all over the world, often in areas that don't possess the natural features and contours of courses of old and have to be landscaped from the existing terrain. Have you ever thought about the placement of hazards on your home course, or wondered about the bunkering on a dogleg corner? Just what do the terms strategic, heroic and penal really mean for a golfer? Is the championship course the model for all? Striking the balance between the natural form of the land and the eye of the artisan is the nub of golf architecture. This volume incorporates 33 absorbing and lavishly illustrated golf architecture-based essays along with six picture essays. The cool thoughts and heated passion expressed through Golf Architecture: A Worldwide Perspective will make you a thinking golfer and enhance your enjoyment of the game.
