In golf construction art and utility meet; both are absolutely vital; one is utterly ruined without the other. GEORGE THOMAS
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).

/I remember the good ole days when we were begging for brackets and lucky to win a dozen balls, but now there are at least three major brackets with prizes for this week's WGC Accenture Match Play.
The PGA Tour's official bracket provides a seemless registration process for newbies, and warns rather ominously: "the Accenture Match Play Championship is a volatile event with underdogs dominating the favorites more often than you would think."
Golfweek.com also offers an easy registration with a Facebook option so that you can say to your friends, I really have no life, I'm immersed in filling out Accenture Match Play brackets. Golfweek is offering a Stay and Play for 2 at La Quinta for the winner and SeeMore Putters to the 2nd-4th place finishers.
GolfChannel.com is very easy to use if you are already registered for their fantasy league, and appears to be offering the most prizes with 64 winners getting a new driver and "one Grand Prize winner will receive a trip for two to the 2015 WGC Accenture," wherever that may be.
I know we have some fantasy players out there. Which are you using? Oh, and if you've had time to look at the revitalized PGATour.com, this would be a good place to comment too. It's certainly prettier!
