Abstract/Contents:Presents a historical view of golf course architecture, stating that "the main point is that modern golf course design invariably echoes past principles and practices and the major changes are generally stylistic." Discusses differences between British and American golf course architecture, but states that "these are mainly conditioned by expectations as blemishes are less likely to be tolerated in the USA." States that "there has been a convergence in styles between American and Great Britain and this has been facilitated by the ease of transatlantic communication as well as being greatly influenced by the media."
