Adam...
Interestingly enough, I cut and pasted that very quote from Geoff's site this morning and saved it in my files. It also reminded me that I need to read their book.
I don't know if it soley focused on arhictecture. I read the first part, then stop, and think.
Golf is a game which is comprehensive enough to satisfy the different tastes
This talks about the game itself. That is all. The game is comprehensive.
We on this site are immediately drawn to the architecture side of things. But the game is comprehensive enough to offer many different ways to love it. Rules, regulations, code of ethics or honor. Competition, win, lose, or a game. Walk in the park, enjoy, man vs. nature, or sport. Or maybe a million more things. Frankly, Golf is what each person makes it. And isn't that is what is so cool about it?
