Renowned golf architecture expert Geoff Shackelford’s Grounds for Golf, first published in 2003, has since become a classic in the genre. In this revised and updated second edition, Shackelford refreshes this work (including his top golf-course design lists) to a new generation of golfers and golf architecture enthusiasts. Shackelford shares his skills and instincts on how to assess the greatness–or less than greatness–of any golf course. In doing so, all most famed tracks, such as St. Andrews, Pinehurst, North Berwick, Bethpage Black and others are featured as case studies in Shackelford’s clear, insightful and entertaining primer on golf design. Also featured are illustrations by architect Gil Hanse to help the reader see how all holes begin with an idea, pencil and paper. By elucidating golf course design from the ground up, Grounds for Golf both strengthens readers’ grasp of the game and enhances golfer’s enjoyment of it.
