| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses "a constructor's view of golf course architecture." Suggests that "a sound knowledge in earthmoving, civil Works, drainage, irrigation, turfing and landscaping" may be required, if "all the components in developing a golf course are to be successfully integrated." Profiles the relationship cultivated by constructors and architects, and how "a golf course shaper will spend much time discussing the philosophy and design intent with the architect before...shaping each hole." Mentions possible difficulties of golf course architects, who can be "forced into a position of restraint by the budget and may not be able to bring out the best in what the land has to offer." |
