This is a short and simple article on the subject as it reminds us of all the great work that is being done on the classical courses.

Too saccharine for me.  Right of the bat (tee): "supremely skilled assemblage." Ugh.

Light on the details but fat on the name-dropping. Did anyone here learn anything from this article?

I enjoyed the Andrew Green section on the importance of the knuckle bucket. That's fairly well understood in advanced golf construction circles but I'm not sure it is generally known.
