The Evolution of Golf Course Design by Keith Cutten | New, Epic Golf Course Architecture Book | The perfect gift for every golfer!

The Evolution of Golf Course Design encompasses material that has only scantily been covered in golfing literature. Unlike much of what has previously been written about the discipline of golf course architecture, Evolution examines the subject-matter through a broader lens. Specifically, the effects of world history, economics, prevailing artistic trends, social movements, and the inter-personal relationships of key designers, are illuminated and contrasted to reveal a more complete history. Supplemented by more than 300 images and architectural plans, this beautiful book will satisfy the intellectual curiosities of the most seasoned golfer, or anyone with a passion for golf and/or history. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ REVIEWS: "The Evolution of Golf Course Design is a milestone and a cause for celebration.
