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).

/Butch Called Sean: "Nothing lasts forever"
/The Former Tiger Woods Instructor Society (aka The Society of The Crossed Instructors) unofficially extended its invitation to the newly scorned Sean Foley in an official phone call from Butch Harmon.
Okay, it wasn't that blatant, but Harmon called Foley to assure him that he's not alone in having been put out to pasture by Tiger. Rex Hoggard reports.
“Sean’s had great success. He has nothing to hang his head about. I called him and told him that. I told him he worked his tail for this guy,” Harmon said. “Nothing lasts forever.”

/This time, having a night to sleep on his overgauged shot Friday from the tent, Phil Mickelson gauged the bounce off the Barclay's carpeting better even though he had to carve it over the tent and, well...you just have to watch. Unreal.
The video:
And since the tents are temporary, there will be no plaques. Just these painted remembrances, tweeted out by the Ridgewood CC Grounds account.
The first.
