Annotation from
Golf Course Design,
by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Michael J. Hurdzan:
"Tillinghast wrote this as an advertising piece for his course design business as well as his 'Lilliput Links'TM, which was 'an accurate working model in Plasticine for any space, and varying in size from the large, putting green to the more ambitious tracts of several acres'. The booklet features many sketches and explanations of strategic design of various golf holes designed by Tillinghast, in the same simple style as he used in his articles on design when he wrote the column 'Our Green Committee Page' for Golf Illustrated." p. 104
