Golf Course Architecture magazine
« on: February 04, 2011, 04:40:49 AM »
A couple of threads currently on page one refer (very favourably) to articles in Adam Lawrence's Golf Course Architecture magazine with links to the on-line version.  I think this is a valuable publication and the quality of articles is high.  It's also, obviously, a business.  All those who have enjoyed reading the articles referred to (or other material on the on-line site) can, of course, support the magazine by subscribing http://www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/subscribe.aspx (sorry, my insert hyperlink button isn't working).

Disclaimer:  I have no connection to the magazine (other than being a subscriber).
In June I will be riding the first three stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity.  630km (394 miles) in three days, with 7800m (25,600 feet) of climbing for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

Mark, thanks for pointing that out.  I've enjoyed the articles I've read on-line, most recently something Forrest Richardson, I believe, wrote about Desmond Muirhead.  It'll be nice to get something in the mail again for a change.

Mark - Good idea to mention the magazine. I've been a subscriber for some time. Issues are mailed to me in the States and arrive reliably. Excellent publication.

Ran has alluded in the past that he was thinking of commissioning articles for this site. There are a good number of articles on http://www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/ that would fit very nicely here. It would be nice to see a working relationship between the two entities.

I agree, best golf magazine going for my taste.  The online is okay, but there is nothing like seeing that bad boy in the mail box.  Happy day!!
