I just picked up Graves and Cornish's new book "Classic Golf Hole Design, Using the Greatest Holes as Inspiration for Modern Courses" and from what I can see it is a book well worth owning.
There might be complaints that the authors presented nothing new, that they actually use illustrations from other well known books or that the photography is limited to black and white.
But, the book has a real seriousness to it, a kind of text book feel and it appears to be rich in documentation. If you want to understand what "classic holes" are all about, by all means go buy this book.
We are all enjoying a renaissance in books about golf architecture. It appears Graves and Cornish have made a very nice contribution.
