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).

Read MorePoll: Your Three USA Ryder Cup Captain's Picks
/I can't imagine this was the dilemma Tom Watson envisioned he'd have when he signed up to be the USA Ryder Cup Captain. But here goes....
The options listed below for the three captain's picks are in order from the final Ryder Cup points list, not the faux list incorporating the post-PGA Championship events (if the PGA of America feels it's worthwhile to keep making a list after the final list, maybe it's time to have the points decided at the last possible event ala Team Europe?).
The Deutsche Bank Championship win by Chris Kirk certainly would seem to vault him onto the team based on season points and late form. Kirk, however, says he has plans to be watching the Tennessee-Georgia game that weekend and didn't want to make the team as a pick, reported Peter May. Here's guessing he'll have a change of heart.
Captain Tom announces his team Tuesday at 6 pm ET from New York City.

/The well-located by pretty dreadful design in San Diego that also hosted equestrian events in the 1984 Olympics has been purchased by Union-Tribune publisher Doug Manchester and Phil Mickelson, reports Roger Showley of the Union Tribune.
The group outbid a proposal from Club Corporation of America.
But a former board president, Louis Ferrero, said the Manchester-Mickelson bid came out of an earlier proposal to sell to ClubCorp, operator of the University Club in downtown San Diego, Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe and the Shadowridge Golf Club in Vista.
While ClubCorp offered top management credentials, Manchester offered a more ambitious improvement plan and a link to his Grand Del Mar property in Carmel Valley, Ferrero said.
