Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Essays on Golf-Course Architecture I recently left the neighbourhood of Sunningdale, and as I thought, of golf-courses, to live far away from any large town, and in the midst of an intensely rural district. After spending nearly twenty years in the closest connection with the game, I thought that it would perhaps be a relief to have my home far removed from the Sight and sound of it, so that it might be possible to emerge from home fresh and keen for my work as a golf-course architect. But I very soon realised on a fine Sunday afternoon that the joy of life was not complete. There was a craving for my usual game round the vinley Forest course, and then I made a few inquiries, and to my surprise discovered, almost at my door a very delightful g-hole course. When I came to live In the neighbourhood I had never even heard of it, but now I know that it is an impossibility in this country to get away from the game, or for many to be deprived of it without severely feeling the loss. France is quickly adopting golf as her national game. It is only a few years ago that it was unknown in that country except at a few holiday resorts, and now we find that one of the Paris clubs has a membership of over a thousand. Spain is becoming enthusiastic, and at Madrid there is a club with over 600 members. The progress made in America is well known, but to me it was a surprise in 1913, when I paid my second visit to the United States, to hear that in the neighbourhood of Chicago there were between thirty and forty courses.

Book excerpt: "Of Course is the fifth book by golf course architect Forrest Richardson. The idea came about after writing numerous articles, essays and reflections on the game he loves, his work, and the history of golf. Covering topics ranging from the best way to place bunker rakes, to the nuances of routing, he combines a sense of humor with personal stories, and personal reflections with a sense of personality. Among the chapters is his classic "Interview With A Bunker," that first appeared in Links Magazine. Drawing from his memory of why he became a golf course architect, he shares the realization that it was, "of course," the right path to take. Of Course is not heavy to read, and that is by design. It can be nibbled at, or binge read. Regardless, it deserves a place on the coffee table of anyone who loves golf, its courses and the magic of bringing them to life."--Publisher's description.
