| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Dooks Golf Course in County Clare, Ireland. Discusses renovation at the course, stating that "the two holes where modification had the potential to cause the greatest stir were perhaps the par three thirteenth, which had a punchbowl green of some renown, and the par five eighteenth, an Alps-style hole where a dune in front of the green completely obscured the putting surface and flagstick, creating a blind approach shot." Also describes the renovation of the other holes. Reports that "the specification of tee and green construction is much improved. Existing rootzone was mixed with 70-80 per cent sand to create playing surfaces that make the most of the links conditions." Concludes that "the success of the project is perhaps best judged by the welcome reception that architect Westenborg received from the mix of club members, golf journalists and American tourists residing in the clubhouse on a rainy day. Dooks is a gem, but is fast losing its hidden status." |
