| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the development of master plans, stating that "the masterplanning [master planning] process, as implemented in golf course upgrading can be seen as a pivotal element in the creation and representation of a clear vision." Suggests that "it is the most effective way of satisfying the needs and ideals of both the club member and the golf course architect." Explains that "from the architect's point of view, the masterplanning [master planning] process is a balancing act where the challenge is to gain the maximum value from the site attributes, both natural and man made." Details the development of a master plan, stating that "after it has been decided that an upgrading program will be undertaken, most clubs appoint a course planning sub-committee to help select and liaise with the golf course architect." Mentions potential benefits of master plans, stating that "with the extent of proposed works now well defined, the Masterplan can be used as the basis of scheduling all works." Concludes that "a golf course is not a static entity...A Masterplan is the best way to ensure that all the human help assisting these changes is directed and focused for the greater good, in conjunction with nature and in the best spirit of the game." |
