DOWNLOAD EBOOKDer Bau von Golfanlagen boomt nicht nur in den USA und Asien, sondern weltweit. "Classic Golf Holfe Design" ist ein praktischer Ratgeber für Landschaftsarchitekten und andere Fachleute, die in die Gestaltung oder Umgestaltung von Golfplätzen involviert sind. Jedes "klassische Loch" wird aus Designerperspektive genau beschrieben, und zwar u.a. im Hinblick auf grundlegendes Lochdesign, Wartung und Pflege sowie auf seine Auswirkungen für das Golfspiel selbst. 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.
