Newbie Intro...

[Mark Nieto]

Hi All,

Just wanted to quickly introduce myself as I just recently joined GCA.  After following many of the discussions on this site, I look forward to partaking. 

Over the past few years I've moved around a bit, so I've had the good fortune of having a couple different home courses.  They include:
- Rustic Canyon (I’m originally from Los Angeles)
- Yale (frequented this course while in grad school)
- Chambers Bay (I currently live in Seattle)

I just finished reading Tom Doak’s ‘Anatomy of a Golf Course’ and am currently reading Geoff Shackelford’s ‘Grounds for Golf’.  Looking forward to reading a bunch of other books I've discovered through GCA discussions.  Thanks for recommendations. 

Cheers,
Mark

Those were books 2 and 1 on the subject that I read, and they helped with my understanding of architecture immensely, and made the older books much more understandable and easier to read.
