Description: The Anatomy of A Golf Course: The Art of Golf Architecture
Behind every golf hole lies the influence of the course architect. Why does a hole dog-leg left and not right, why are bunkers placed where they are, how is the length of a hole or the view from the tee determined? All these factors and many more are the result of choices made by the golf architect to challenge, and/or intimidate the golfer. Knowing why a course is laid out is critical to how the course should be played and can improve your golf game. Tom Doak, one of America's youngest and most successful golf architects, discusses his craft and explains the strategies behind a golf architect's decisions. Knowledgeable golfers and beginners alike will find this book fascinating reading. With a foreword by Ben Crenshaw. New York: Lyons & Burford, illustrated, cloth, 23cm.
