Summary : Golfers dream of playing the legendary courses of the game: St. Andrews, Augusta National, Pinehurst, Pebble Beach. And anyone who has played the royal and ancient sport is an armchair architect at heart. From alterations for their home course to visions of their very own backyard dream course, most golfers would love to test their hands at course design. What makes certain courses timeless? Unlike the venues of other popular recreational sports like tennis and racquetball, whose playing fields are bound by strict measurements that do not vary, each golf course is unique. Offering an endless topographical variety, from short to long, flat or hilly, wet or dry, every course represents a compelling blend of risks versus rewards, with decisions and challenges to test every golfer's game and mental toughness. Combining Geoff Shackelford's informative narrative with detailed illustrations by architect Gil Hanse, Grounds for Golf explains the fundamentals of golf course design in an understandable and entertaining style. Modern photographs, anecdotal sidebars, and witty quotations augment a course design primer that will enhance readers' enjoyment of golf's lore while introducing the fundamentals of course design. By explaining the golf course from the ground up, Grounds for Golf will not only help readers in their understanding of the game, but will help their games themselves.

Summary : Der Bau von Golfanlagen boomt nicht nur in den USA und Asien, sondern weltweit. "Classic Golf Holfe Design" ist ein praktischer Ratgeber für Landschaftsarchitekten und andere Fachleute, die in die Gestaltung oder Umgestaltung von Golfplätzen involviert sind. Jedes "klassische Loch" wird aus Designerperspektive genau beschrieben, und zwar u.a. im Hinblick auf grundlegendes Lochdesign, Wartung und Pflege sowie auf seine Auswirkungen für das Golfspiel selbst. Zu jedem "klassischen Loch" gibt es jeweils drei Musterbeispiele, die anschaulich demonstrieren, inwieweit welches Muster für eine Neuanlage geeignet sind. Die Autoren Graves und Cornish sind beide ehemalige Präsidenten der American Society of Golf Course Architects und zählen zu den berühmtesten und angesehensten Golfplatzarchitekten Amerikas. Sie haben zusammen über 1.000 Golfplätze entworfen oder umgestaltet und über 60 Seminare zum Thema Golfplatzdesign gehalten.

Summary : Golf's future is in question. Fewer people are participating, environmental restrictions are altering construction and maintenance practices, and improved equipment technologies have necessitated longer golf holes increasing management and playing costs. There is a lack of research examining the influence that golf course architecture has had on the evolution, and current state, of the game of golf. This study explored connections between the evolution of golf architecture and external influences such as technology, media, social trends, the economy and allied professional fields. A decade-by-decade breakdown revealed 10 eras and 8 schools of design. This process led to the recognition of two high points in the evolution of golf course architecture, one pre-WWII and one on-going since 1995. Questionnaires were sent to 35 leading designers, from which aggregate findings were compared to writings of 35 pre-WWII designers. Themes were distilled which suggested a correlation between both high points of design practice.
