| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the history of golf in the United States, comparing it to the British Golf Course at Deal, "better known as Royal Cinque Ports" and "the oldest club in England, Westward Ho!" States that, at these courses, "one had to simply play around or over the sheep and horses which freely roamed the golf course." Also states that "this scene was also common in America for the first 40-50 years that golf was played." Concludes that "the homeliness of the term cow pasture golf should not conjure up visions of uninteresting golf. In fact, golf played on less well maintained facilities alone requires a greater diversity of golf shots than does golf played from perfect lies on lush green swards. One learns to play pitch and run shots, he learns to read the 'brea' in the driving areas for running drives, and he must learn to pinch the ball or he loses his shirt in friendly competition. The truly skilled Golf Architect will maximize the natural features of the golfing ground and will minimize the use of huge earthmoving machines to produce artificialness at an exorbitant cost." |
