From Bauhaus to Golf Course

[Dan Kelly]

While looking for a picture of Shadow Creek's clubhouse, I stumbled upon this: "From Bauhaus to Golf Course: The Rise, Fall and Revival of Golf Course Architecture" -- by Steve Sailer, in "The American Conservative" (April 11. 2005) -- at http://www.isteve.com/Golf_From_Bauhaus_to_Golf_Course.htm.

Looks interesting.

Don't remember any discussion of it here.

Anything there?

"... golf doesn't attract as many literary intellectuals as baseball does. Golfers tend to overlap with football fans—prototypically, businessmen with a talent for getting things done but not terribly reflective. "  S. Sailer

Mr Sailer, allow me to introduce to you Mr. Max Behr, Mr Bernard Darwin and Mr Herbert Warren Wind........


I'd stack Geoff Shackelford, Tom Doak and Brad Klein up against anybody for present day examples.

You've gotta fit John Updike into that lineup somewhere.

Add to the line up Arnold Haultain, Horace Hutchison, Patric Dickinson and (my dark horse candidate) Charles Price.

And those are just some more dead guys.

How about writers who are alive and well: Lorne Rubenstein, David Owen, John Strawn, Michael Murphy? I'm certain I am forgetting others.

No other sport comes close to golf in having so many "reflective" commentators.
