Annotation from
Golf Course Design,
by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Michael J. Hurdzan: | "With eloquent text and superb photography, this magnificent book is a fitting tribute to golf in a state that has made large contributions to the game. Clubs and courses in all areas of the Commonwealth are described, with course architects given their due. One essay extols the vision of pioneer turfgrass educator Lawrence S. Dickinson of the University of Massachusetts, then Massachusetts Agricultural College, who established the first ever college level course on turfgrass science. Fifty years before environmental awareness became increasingly universal, visionary Dickinson speculated that golf courses and their open spaces worked together for the betterment of the environment and society." p. 98 |
