IN MY OPINION
In My Opinion
‘In My Opinion’ is available for anyone who would like to submit a detailed essay as it relates to golf course architecture.
All essays are saved and a library is created to which everyone has full access. No editing is performed, so this feature can be a place to speak one’s mind in great detail without fear of having the published result edited into a watered down version. However, as with the site, the articles are meant to be constructive in nature – mean spirited articles will not be published. Controversial ones will but please note: GolfClubAtlas may or may not share the views that are expressed in these articles.
Please contact us if you are interested in submitting such an essay.
