Synopsis"Bob and Geoff are two of the grand old men of the design fraternity. After several years of research and the evaluation of thousands of golf holes, they have put before us their findings. After reading this book, well all wonder if our favorite holes fit one of the classic models. For many, reading this book will be the beginning of a wonderful journey of discovery." --From the Foreword by Damian Pascuzzo, Past President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, Golf course construction continues to burgeon in the United States, Asia, and around the world. This book meets the needs of practicing landscape architects and other practicing professionals involved in the design or re-design of golf courses. Each classic hole is described in terms relevant to the designer including its basic design, its maintenance, and its impact on the golfer's game. Three samples accompany each classic hole illustrating varying replications and how those replications were appropriated for the new course. Graves and Cornish are two of the most famous and respected golf course architects in the United States, who have designed or remodeled a combined 1,000+ courses, taught more than 60 seminars on golf course design, and are both past presidents of the American Society of Golf Course Architects., Der Bau von Golfanlagen boomt nicht nur in den USA und Asien, sondern weltweit.

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., St. Andrew"s golf course is widely considered to be the first truly designed golf course. Each hole was designed to offer numerous ways of approaching each green so that players of varying degrees of expertise could exploit their own individual strengths. Today"s golf course architects still look to courses like St.
