| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "This is a unique annotated bibliography of golf design books and related subjects. It is organized on a somewhat chronological basis. The related books include groupings on annuals and yearbooks, turfgrass science and management, drainage and irrigation, and the environment. The latter portion of the book addresses the arrangement of large collections and specific resources." p. 440 |

| Quotable quotes | "As golf courses evolved from natural sites, grazed by livestock and maintained superficially, into today's multi-million dollar layouts, often meticulously groomed, so the field of course architecture has grown. The profession has been transformed to an era when computer-assisted design, environmental and construction permits, advanced earth moving equipment and engineering expertise are all needed to build a course. Still the common bond between contemporary course architects and their predecessors is artistic dedication to producing inspired creations. Part of the chain connecting past to present is a remarkable literature that charts the evolution of this extraordinary profession. Those accounts helped shape the profession and continue to do so." p. xiii |
