| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how golf courses in America shortly after World War I were designed in a penalizing way, with bunkers consisting of "dragon teeth," mounds of earth that forced the golfer to contort his stance. States that the "off-fairway areas were almost jungles." Explains that the Pine Valley Golf Club in Clementon, N.J. and Oakmont Country Club, near Pittsburgh serve as successful reminders of penalizing golf course architecture. Concludes that pure penalizing golf course design is non-existent because "it was too difficult, too demanding and too deflating to a golfer's ego." |
