Summary: |
"Of Course is the fifth book by golf course architect Forrest Richardson. The idea came about after writing numerous articles, essays and reflections on the game he loves, his work, and the history of golf. Covering topics ranging from the best way to place bunker rakes, to the nuances of routing, he combines a sense of humor with personal stories, and personal reflections with a sense of personality. Among the chapters is his classic "Interview With A Bunker," that first appeared in Links Magazine. Drawing from his memory of why he became a golf course architect, he shares the realization that it was, "of course," the right path to take. Of Course is not heavy to read, and that is by design. It can be nibbled at, or binge read. Regardless, it deserves a place on the coffee table of anyone who loves golf, its courses and the magic of bringing them to life."--Publisher's description. https://www.golframes.com/products/of-course-golf-book |
