| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the changes made to classic golf courses in Britain. States that "most of our classic courses have changed significantly over the years, and perhaps the only way to halt the trend is to limit the performance of golfing equipment...often the design concept of the original architect has been lost or at the least submerged under layers of course improvement projects usually initiated by well meaning but misguided committees." Also states that "it must also be remembered that maintenance has a profound influence on the playing characteristics and presentation of our courses and the greater the drive for uniformity and consistency, the greater the risk will be that the original architectural values will fade." |
