Golf Course Architecture for Normal People is a primer on golf architecture that explains how to be a more informed critic without becoming a total lunatic. Golf is supposed to be fun and for reasons unknown, the study, debate and enjoyment of courses has been hijacked by snobbery. This book demystifies golf design in a fun and even irreverent manner. It also shows how a greater understanding of a golf course's design and improve a golfer's score and his/her appreciation of the game.
