About This Book
A series of practical essays offering guidance on designing and maintaining golf courses with economy and lasting quality, emphasizing minimal disturbance of natural landforms and the strategic placement of hazards to enhance play and appearance. The author sets out layout principles — suggested hole mix, two nine-hole loops, short walks between greens and tees, undulating but accessible putting surfaces, and reduced blind approaches — and recommends construction and greenkeeping methods that favor finality and low long-term cost. Illustrated examples and ideal-hole plans accompany technical suggestions, and concluding remarks consider directions for the future of golf architecture.
