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).

Video: Trick Shot Best Of From Germany's The Courooons
/Yes, three o’s in Courooons for those of you spellchecking at home. They play tennis, they don't shave, they probably wear sunglasses at night, and their jeans are about to fall off their waists. So they're cool.
Here is their latest tennis trick shot video set (loudly) to Aloe Blacc's The Man. And a little more about them.
Thanks to Kyle Porter for spotting the first legit threat to the Bryan Brothers in the trick shot video division.
My personal favorite comes at the 20 second mark:
Jeb Bush: "Golf would not be dying if more people played the way we play out here"
/Necrology, 2014
/Rory Loves Marshawn's Bad Attitude Toward The Media
/Behind The Scenes: Watson v. Mickelson At The Ryder Cup
/R&A On Verge Of BBC-Sky Decision
/Rory Doesn't Have To Wipe His Phones Any Longer
/Tiger Headed To Phoenix, Tweets His Hole-In-One Video
/"Back in 2000, there were 12 major champions owning 30 titles in the field; this week, there are just four, representing a grand total of six majors."
/You Really, Really Want To See Chambers Bay
/I thought the poll question from earlier this week was a loaded one, what with The Old Course hosting The Open this year.
But with 715 votes 47% of you said Chambers Bay was the most anticipated major venue of 2015, followed by St. Andrews at 27%. And the quick return to Whistling Straits has almost none of you excited.
Certainly there is a mysterious quality to Chambers Bay and how the entire thing will work (or not), from the conditioning to the setup to the logistics to the first Fox telecast. As always, thanks for voting.
