5.0 out of 5 stars For those in love with why a golf course is what it is, October 20, 1998
This review is from: The Course Beautiful : A Collection of Original Articles and Photographs on Golf Course Design (Hardcover)
If you love golf and appreciate what a makes a great golf course, then this is the book that will add to your enjoyment of every hole you play. It will also aid you in your criticism of your greens committee when they want to lengthen a hole or add a bunker or two, or just change for changes sake. Despite the fact that the articles were written in the early part of this century, they are totally relevant to today's golfing problems - overplay, balls that go too far, courses that need to be acceptable to both the tiger and the rabbit, etc, etc. If you've played on the world's best, love golf, have an eye for a great golf hole and course - and you love books, then read and appreciate the majesty of a great design mind. Here is a master at work. Without Tillie, the likes of Trent Jones (all of them), Bob Cupp, Nicklaus (all of them), etc, etc would be without inspiration. Jay Morrish is the nearest in modern times to him for sheer poetry of layout. But that's not forgetting Ross, Mackenzie, Colt, et al whose courses are also wonderful. Read and enjoy - it really does make the course beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Tillinghast course members, November 12, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Course Beautiful : A Collection of Original Articles and Photographs on Golf Course Design (Hardcover)
A collection of Tillinghast's writings, how he approached the land, trying to retain the 'naturalness' of the terrain. His thoughts about the overall layout, etc. Certainly explains why his courses have stood the test of time. As a printer, I would commend the publishers and their printer for making a black and white book look so good !

This book is well worth reading for fans of golf architecture.
It provides insight into the thinking of one of the great masters
Including some subtle points that I have missed previously.
