| Abstract/Contents: | "Golf greens are works of art. They are sculptured out of the earth and outstanding greens always blend with the terrain and other surrounding features. An outstanding green is a free-form design with flowing lines that fade away into its surroundings. Free-flowing lines of a green are gradually changed through maintenance practices until the green proper becomes "saucer-like" in shape, the collar disappears, and the sand traps become shapeless hollows in the earth. To re-shape a green back to its natural beauty, the green proper should be re-outlined, allowing for generous collars to bring out the beauty of the green's shape. Sand traps should be re-shaped to flowing lines attractive to the eye of the beholder when viewed from tee and fairway. An important part of the game of golf is the psychological effect a hole has on a player. One that is beautiful to the eye has a pronounced effect on the golfer's approach to his shot. When a golfer plays a beautiful course, he is less apt to complain about his score." |
