It’s back!
Twenty years later Tatra Press has kindly allowed me to bring back Grounds For Golf now that golf architecture is of more interest to the masses. A new Introduction looks at what’s driven the interest growth and two new chapters I had a blast adding (plus a few edits to keep things up-to-date).

Phil: "There's no fire in the golf course right now"
/Phil Mickelson summed up the odd state of affairs at Augusta National right now: no fire.
Read MoreThe Media Really Liked Jordan Spieth Thursday Morning
/The Augusta Chronicle's always superb coverage at Augusta.com included their traditional poll of the writers. This year 26 picked Jordan Spieth to win, more than double the number who thought Rory McIlroy would capture the 2015 Masters. Note the other findings from Scott Michaux's polling of the scribery.
And they really like him after a record-setting 36 at Augusta National.
Steve DiMeglio in the USA Today:
Spieth's total of 130 ties the lowest total after the opening 36 holes in the history of major championships. Martin Kaymer in the 2014 U.S. Open, Brandt Snedeker in the 2012 British Open and Nick Faldo in the 1992 British Open also shot 130.
Further, Spieth equaled the largest lead after 36 holes in tournament history, joining Herman Keiser in 1946, Jack Nicklaus in 1975 and Floyd in '76 as the only players to hold a 5-shot advantage after two rounds.
Keiser, Nicklaus and Floyd all went on to win.
Spieth's second round 66 in three minutes, as Tweeted by The Masters account:
