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 only briefly touched on today’s Saudi stuff and took a pass on the Ryder Cup talk.

Sorry, but we have a really nice major championship before us given the weather, course and other storylines, so today’s Quadrilateral is mostly focused on rounding up and analyzing the PGA.
