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).

/Not a lot of grey area in European Captain Paul McGinley's comments to the Daily Mail's Derek Lawrenson about Lee Westwood's chances of getting a captain's pick, especially compared to fellow Cup stalwarts Ian Poulter and Graeme McDowell.
Lawrenson writes:
"I spoke with Chubby (Chandler, Westwood’s manager) last week and spelled it out. We’ve got three huge events coming up that will determine the final line-up and the truth is Lee needs to do something."
Poulter and McDowell are in a different category. ‘They’ve got the pedigree and they’re in good form,’ argued the Irishman. Poults is one place outside the team and G-Mac’s just won the French Open. So I’m not going to try to kid anybody. If either of them end up needing a pick, they’ve got a very good chance of getting one.’"
