| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf architecture, suggesting that "the flood-tide of golf...has...brought the demand for courses of a testing character and of a more artistic standard than those in the past." Suggests that "it is only a high-class architect who can design a high-class course...His object must be to make every hole a complete picture, full of individuality and character and yet quite unlike every other hole on the course." Also suggests that "the finish in the last three or four holes should always be the hardest test of the game on the course, ending up with a very fine 'two-shot' hole to the clubhouse." States that "the moulding out of a course after it has been laid out to the best advantage is, in a way, the most important part of all." Mentions how "owing to introduction of the rubber-covered balls, it has been necessary to lengthen out most all of the courses of the old design. It is not, however, simply a question of added distance that makes a change necessary, but a general rearrangement of all the tees, bunkers, traps,...as well as the reconstruction of many of the putting greens." Details methods of designing bunkers, stating that "the scheme of bunkering should really start at the green and work backwards, and seeing that the standard of a course must ultimately depend upon how far it is a test of good golf, the holes should be built for the scratch player." |
