I was fortunate to learn about this fact a few days ago in an email from Brad, which provided me the opportunity to congratulate him on the award. I'm very happy that a tireless and talented golf architecture writer, many years in the making, has been recognized in this way.

Again, congratulations, Brad. Keep up the good work  :)

Sincerely,

"Something has to change, otherwise the never-ending arms race that benefits only a few manufacturers will continue to lead to longer courses, narrower fairways, smaller greens, more rough, more expensive rounds, and other mechanisms that will leave golf's future in doubt." -  TFOG

An award that certainly is deserved. I just finished it (every single word of it) and I might start all over again. Starting on page 301, a section follows ('rennovation or restoration') that is really good! Anyone thinking of or entering into a restoration project should make that section a primer and there's a ton of info there that should be taken right into the committee meetings or into membership meetings.

Matter of fact, now that the USGA has given Brad's book their award, that particular section (p.301 and on) should be required reading for anyone with the USGA too who has anything to do with architecture.

Congratulations Brad Klein!
