| Abstract/Contents: | Details the history of the game of golf, suggesting that "since the 1950s, golf has been transformed into a fuzzy likeness of the game that was born on the shores of Scotland. A generation of golfers, spellbound by Nicklaus and Palmer, August and TPC [Tournament Players Club], fast greens and Tiger, established new expectations for the game of golf: a perception that quality golf is defined by spectacular maintenance, ratings, yardage, par, slope, or some other classification." Discusses potential problems facing the golf industry, stating that "golf has changed, but solutions to the problems facing [the] industry are evident." Suggests that "golf is not fair"; "golf is about golfers"; "golf is an adventure"; "golf is about nature"; "all golf is local"; and "golf is match play." |
