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).

Read MoreDVR Alert: In Play W/Jimmy Roberts Goes To Rio!
/Sounds so, so fun doesn't it? As in, maybe we'll see Jimmy Roberts playing beach volleyball on Copacabana Beach in a Speedo? But I'm sad to say, it really isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially if you've seen the "progress" the country is making toward the 2016 Olympic Games.
The season two premiere of In Play kicks by unveiling the many months of footage compiled by producer Matt Miller, Paul Berner and Neil Munroe, including the first ever public showing of the architect selection presentation. You'll also see me briefly mentioning what a fiasco the whole thing Rio is. Anything to bring levity to the show!
The show also features a segment with Jimmie Johnson, who apparently won the Daytona 500 yesterday in the eyes of some at Fox.
Boy, Jimmy knows how land the big "gets" at just the right time.
