The Practical Greenkeeper, 1921 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Practical Greenkeeper, 1921
Golf architecture today consists of something more than the mere laying out of eighteen holes. Players want something more than good golf holes. They demand that apart from meeting the requirements of modern golf, the course must be so designed that the natural features of the locality be utilized and brought out, and that the surroundings be made as attractive as possible, from the point of view of the landscape architect.
The modern golf architect must be a man of originality and resource, a man who has studied much. The art of golf architecture is a gift of nature, but the science of golf architecture is only acquired by much study. The man who combines art and science is not easy to find, but he does exist, and he is the man that should be chosen to convert the newly acquired property into a golf course that is a golf course.
