The game of golf is at a crossroads. We can chose to continue develop costly and overdone courses that are too difficult and too expensive to play or we can look for new solutions. At Common Ground Golf Course near Denver, Tom Doak and the rest of the Renaissance team have reworked an uninspiring and [...]

POSTCARDS FROM EUROPE- IRELAND
AIB Ladies Irish Open, Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links, Dublin, Ireland
June 22nd – 28th, 2009
When I think of Ireland immediately my mind conjures up all sorts of images, many of them green (and not in the environmental sense). The Emerald Isle, wily leprechauns, four-leaf clovers, St. Patrick’s Day, boiled potatoes and cabbage, Joyce’s Dubliners, Guinness, [...]
POSTCARDS FROM EUROPE- PORTUGAL
Golden Eagle Golf Club, Ladies Open de Portugal
Rio Maior, North of Lisbon, Portugal

BUCOLIC GOLF IN SCOTLAND

POSTCARDS FROM EUROPE- HOLLAND
ABN AMRO Ladies Open, Eindhoven Golf , the Netherlands
June 1st – 7th, 2009
As one who frequently enters and exits other’s lives visiting in brief, sporadic spells, I hope you can understand my reluctance to say good-bye. There are those who make such a point in saying it, as if it mattered a great deal to [...]
SHISHKINE GOLF & TENNIS CLUB
On the Isle of Arran there are a number of golf courses, but none better than Shishkine Golf & Tennis Club. This Willie Park design consists of only twelve holes, seven of which are par threes, but it packs serious golf holes and amazing views into its truncated routing. While the course affords some of [...]
