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).

PGA In Tulsa: Tiger Shows His Hand

May 01, 2022/ Geoff Shackelford

Tiger Woods visited Southern Hills last week and delivered excitement. And yet, did Team Reed really take to Twitter to grovel about the scouting trip?

The latest Quadrilateral looks at this strange development and this also inspires a preview of potential PGA madness should Phil Mickelson return. Oh, and a weekend wrap-up of a mostly forgettable one in pro golf.
