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).

/I'm sure these are all wonderful, tax-paying, something-fearing-American Americans. That said, to celebrate a new tat-heavy show debuting tonight on NBC, my colleagues at Morning Drive asked viewers to submit their golf themed inked-up torsos, limbs, digits and other areas. Here is the full list of golf-friendly body art.
Some are genuinely lovely tributes.
Some are funny in a bar-fight kind of way.
Another is a fascinating tribute to Dr. MacKenzie.
Yet another could earn the person a call from Augusta National's lawyers.
And a few could use better lighting to prevent them from looking like those dreadful online photos you see when trying to figure out if Dr. Spaceman should take a look at that mole.
My personal favorite is the foot with coordinates to Muirfield Village ingrained for safe keeping.
Enjoy!
