| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, golf course architects, and describes their partnership together. States that "back when they first teamed up, Crenshaw agreed with Coore that as long as they treated their endeavor more like a hobby than a business, they would be in good shape. As a result, their partnership is still going strong in a field where breakups are legendary and tumultuous." Mentions some of their projects, including We-Ko-Pa Golf Course in Fort McDowell, Arizona; Warren Golf Course in Notre Dame, Indiana; and Golf Course at Cuscowilla in Eatonton, Georgia. Concludes that "Crenshaw is still a professional golfer - a Hall of Famer - with enough pride to want to return to the winner's circle...He will also continue to design two courses a year with Coore, no more, no less, picking from dozens of prospects, looking for the special pieces of land, the ones that feel most comfortable to them. And on those courses, they will continue to push the design envelope in subtle ways that most people won't even notice." |
