Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard:	"One of the classic early American works on the architecture of golf courses. A rare, must book for collectors of historical golf books. The photographs of famous golf holes in North America and England are well done. The chapter subject titles include the following: -Ante Scriptum - To Links-Land -The Purpose of Hazards - Their Inspiration to Good Play -Ante Scriptum - Shots - Old And New -Things of Importance -Placing the Hazards -Laying Out the Course -Constructing the Hazards -The Climax of Golf - The Well-Placed and Well-Moulded Green -Other Things of Importance Regarding the question of whether roughs and hazards should be included in the tillage and planting of a golf course, Hunter stated the following: Grassy hollows, mounds, and the banks of bunkers should be sowed with good seed and not allowed to grow wild, as otherwise they will become breeding-places for weeds. The club which can afford to do so should plough up its rough and sow it also." p. 443
Beard Section Heading:	Specialty turfgrass books/monographs: Architecture and planning of turfgrass facilities

Annotation from Golf Course Design, by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Michael J. Hurdzan:	"Hunter became interested in course architecture after visiting the classic courses of Great Britain in 1912. His treatise, said to be the first known American book on course design, is detailed and well illustrated with historic photographs of the classic courses while still in their original states. Hunter authored many essays on course design in periodicals starting his career as a champion of the underprivileged. He later ran for governor of Connecticut on the Socialist ticket. Still later he became involved with several of the nation's leading country clubs and became an opponent of President Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal, although he had started his career as a champion of the poor." p. 76
