Golf Architecture: Economy in Course Construction & Green-Keeping - Tapa dura

My partner, who is the author of these short essays on Golf Course A rchitecture, has asked me to write an introduction.

Up to that period the courses which had been designed by man, and not by nature, had in great measure failed in this direction, and although no doubt they had provided necessary opportunities for playing the game, the siuroundings in many cases proved a source of irritation rather than pleasure.
