Abstract/Contents: | Describes the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology by Mike Nuzzo of Nuzzo Course Design from Houston, Texas. States that "Nuzzo first utilized GPS when creating as-builts for a construction company back in 2001-2002. During his subsequent work with architects, superintendents and golf course builders, he honed his skills while realizing just how powerful a design tool GPS represents." Highlights the design process of Wolf Point Club in Port Lavaca, Texas, Nuzzo's first solo design project. States that "Nuzzo started the process of designing Wolf Point Club by having the site flown and a topographic map and aerial photograph created to work with. He then downloading [downloaded] a local quadrant image of the area and embedded the data before sketching a conceptual routing onto the quad image." Concludes that "both Nuzzo and [golf course owner Don] Mahaffey stated that GPS allowed them to continue to massage and document the design well past traditional time limits, up to and including finishing and grassing." |
