Nice artilce. I think they are correct that golf design is going the way of design/build and may stay that way. The danger is that the general contractor types will have to enter the game to survive and in doing so may dominate much of the scene. For the last 30 years the general contractors have had the back of those that wrote pages of specs and drew pages of plans because they knew they were of no danger to their business. But now it's a different game.
