Abstract/Contents: | Defines clunking as "the act of preserving native plant material and incorporating indigenous vegetation into design." Highlights Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Describes the clearing and contruction of Rustic Canyon, a golf course of California, in the United States of America. States that "the art of preserving natives and chunking is largely relegated to so-called 'minimalist' designs, those where less earth is moved. ...But as Max Behr so eloquently wrote, 'the medium of the golf architect is the surface of the earth over which the forces of nature alone are master.'" |
