Abstract/Contents:In 1985, it was decided that a new 3rd hole should be built in the North Shore Golf Club, Auckland. Mistakes included the inability to see the green from where a golfer would play an approach shot on two of the new greens, and problems designing the bunkers. Some pitfalls of construction may include: "1) not having an architect close at hand when doing the construction; 2) not having working plans from which to carry out the desired tasks; 3) a committee being enthusiastic but not having any real knowledge of what is involved; and 4) a committee trying to get the job done without any disruptions to the members ... If your club is contemplating some construction, you, the superintendent, must make sure it is properly planned ... So firstly, pay a competent golf course architect to design the hole. Make sure full working plans are produced and not merely a concept plan. Then make sure the architect is on site when the earthworks are taking place."
