Golf course construction continues to burgeon in the United States; Asia; and around the world. This book meets the needs of practicing landscape architects and other practicing professionals involved in the design or re-design of golf courses. Each classic hole is described in terms relevant to the designer including its basic design; its maintenance; and its impact on the golfers game. Three samples accompany each classic hole illustrating varying replications and how those replications were appropriated for the new course. Graves and Cornish are two of the most famous and respected golf course architects in the United States; who have designed or remodeled a combined 1;000+ courses; taught more than 60 seminars on golf course design; and are both past presidents of the American Society of Golf Course Architects.

A Seminal Work on OrnamentBy The OrnamentalistAlong with "The Grammar of Ornament" this book by Dresser is an important work for stencil artists. designers. and students. especially those interested in Victorian work. You can buy just the pretty pictures from a a number of compendia by Dover and others. but if you want to understand the principals behind the ornament. and actually learn how best to use these motifs. or design your own. you should learn that the use of ornament in interior design requires some understanding of how to adapt it.3 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Eminently Useless Collection of Arts Crafts Wall Wallpaper DesignsBy TJ MccarthyThe description for this book is quite vague so allow me to clear things up before you waste your money. First there is a series of short but windy chapters dealing with various aspects of design philosophy. Forty pages worth. to be exact. The rest of the book is a series of colour plates - "Studies in Design" - that are thoroughly hideous. intended to be used as patterns for wall paper. friezes. borders. ceiling paintings. dado-rails. etc. The author describes them as "grotesque" on several occasions and hes right. but not the way he intended. If youve ever looked through a book of wallpaper samples. youve got the idea. You can see one piece of a pattern. but never an application in the whole cloth.Almost nobody needs this book. Unless youre researching Arts Crafts or Art Deco interior designs. or making reproduction wallpaper for the period. it is useless. Avoid.
