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).

Why does LIV have Fred Ridley in its deposition sights? At least, that’s my take after reading all 106 pages of LIV’s lawsuit against the PGA Tour.

Plus, some Women's Open follow-up and ratings, the latest look at Augusta National's 13th thanks to Eureka Earth’s recon imagery, and a whole bunch of Reads. I mean, a lot.
