This sounds to me like a fairly interesting justification for "framing." The history of the "Golden Ration" or "Golden Section" goes way back and was obviously used as far back as building architecture and painting art in early Greece and Rome and on, and is even probably one of the fundamental aspects of some landscape architecture.
Personally, my sense has long been to minimize that kind of thing in golf course architecture!
I say that because obviously one of the purposes in building architecture, in art and paint art or even landscape architecture is to focus the eye on the subject or its most important part, but I feel with golf course architecture the better policy and philosophy is to encourage the golfer to "look around" and not limit his eye or the movement of his eyes or his head!
