Summary:
1. When it comes to golf course design, Graves and Cornish are true masters. Over the past few decades they have produced every type of course imaginable. Now, drawing on this vast experience and their popular golf course seminars held at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and elsewhere are shared in the outstanding book. This book covers all of the major historic, aesthetic, business, and technical issues of the subject from course layout, hole design, drainage, irrigation and turf-grass selection to planning, financing, construction and environmental considerations.
2. Described as "the modern bible of golf architecture,” this text distills 30 years of knowledge and experience into one source. It chronicles all facets of designing, building, renovating and restoring a golf course. It is a wealth of understandable and useful information on golf architecture from its earliest beginnings to modern architectural design.
3. The death of Donald J. Ross removed from the spotting scene another of the "grand old men”. He was first a greenkeeper, then professional, then master designer. He had a great impact on golf course design. He was a founder and only honorary president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, and designer of many of America's most revered courses.
