Cornish and Robinson on GC Design for Maintenance
« on: November 25, 2020, 02:52:16 PM »
CORNISH-AND-ROBINSON-DESIGN-FOR-MAINTENANCE.pdf (asgca.org)


I found this in my annual Thanksgiving to New Year file purge, and sent it on to ASGCA for social media use, but thought I would post the link directly here.  Hope some find it interesting.


In a brief re-read, it appears to me to sum up the post war until 1990's era thoughts on design.  Many of these are still true axioms, while obviously as a group we have moved on from other ideas presented.

Well this was interesting. I quite like the idea they put forward about teeing ground.

Sub 5000 sq. ft greens considered "postage stamp" sized is interesting. My course (fairly new, 2003 opening) has 9 such greens, so half the course. I wonder if green sizes have shrunk as the intensity of culture has increased. Would seem to make sense.


I also like how the authors highlighted the dilemma of machine maintenance influencing design and vice versa as that is definitely a real tug-of-war.
