Abstract/Contents:Discusses golf course design for Harlow New Town at Canons Brook, designed by Henry Cotton. Details Cotton's design philosophy, to create a golf course which presents the appropriate level of difficulty to both inexperienced and professional players. Explains that the design accomplishes this goal by eliminating rough, placing bunkers farther down the holes, and using large greens. Theorizes that by moving hazards back in the hole, inexperienced golfers will fall short of them on their drives, while experienced golfers must be more precise. States that many inexperienced golfers have expressed dissatisfaction with levels of difficulty in golf courses and suggests that with a more friendly design it is possible that more new players will be attracted to play at such a course.
