Abstract/Contents: | Overviews how golf course trends have changed over time. Focuses on Hoylake Golf Club's most famous hole, known as the Dowie. Describes the hole's features, primarily the out of bounds against the left edge of the green that regarded it as one of golf's greatest one shot holes. Discusses the rule change of 1932 that charged a penalty stroke for going out of bounds. Explains how the out of bounds region was once viewed as an optimal feature, but is now thought to be "a bit absurd to have out of bounds on the edge of the putting green." |
