Annotation from
Golf Course Design,
by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Michael J. Hurdzan: | "An influential chapter on course design was one of the first ever written, and served as a guideline for many who followed. Park was considered to be the doyen of contemporary golf architecture and many of his principles have been the basis for increasingly sophisticated design. In the architecture chapter Park made the legendary statement 'The laying out of a golf course is by no means a simple task'." p. 92 |
