Annotation from
Golf Course Design,
by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Michael J. Hurdzan: | "The Book Itself is Something of a Mystery. Reprinted in Part in a Leading Periodical Before World War I, it was Dismissed as Fanciful. One Wonders if the Reaction Would Be the Same Today in View of the Thousands of Glorious Courses That Have Emerged Worldwide. (Reprinted Numerous Times, Including the Classics of Golf: Stamford, CT, 1986, With a Foreword by H.W. Wind and Afterword by John Updike.)" p. 73 |
