| Abstract/Contents: | "The architect of the Augusta National writes of its promise." Presents the four essentials for the "ideal" golf course: 1) Must be a constant source of pleasure to the greatest number of players, 2) Require strategy in the playing as well as skill, 3) Give the average player a fair chance while requiring the utmost from the expert, and 4) Preserve all natural beauty, utilize natural hazards, and minimize artificiality. Includes brief descriptions of Augusta's golf holes with yardage, course yardage for regular and championship markers, fairways, greens, and sand traps. |
