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).

If you really want to see what happens when a husband does the unthinkable--hit his wife with a shot--here is the photo she posted on Instagram. But you've been warned by the thumbnail version, it's gruesome but a good reminder to be extra careful if you hit the links over the holidays.
