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'm not sure of the date, but I recently found this postcard at a show depicting the golf course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The original 1929 course is attributed to William Diddel and was named Speedway Golf Course.
Today, Brickyard Crossing GC has four holes inside the track and has been redesigned by Pete Dye.
