Taylor Anderson is a registered professional engineer in the states of Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. He owns a civil engineering consulting firm in the Atlanta suburbs, Blue Landworks LLC. Blue Landworks provides consulting services to individuals and companies working on land development in the southeast. The Jacksonville Times-Union golf writer – who apparently doesn’t want to associate his name with the article – made this interesting statement.
The media need to quit fighting the FedEx Cup points race. It’s the Tour’s basic competitive structure, but I’ve had writers swear to me they will never mention in their game story what a [...]
Hmm… the advocates of golf’s fifth of the four majors are stepping up. Sawgrass’ superintendent Fred Klauk is ready to declare it so.
“We’ve had a lot players tell us that the course is in great shape and that it’s a fair setup as long as the greens don’t get too fast,” Klauk says. “Fortunately, we [...]
As previously mentioned on this site, the Sedgefield versus Forest Oaks debate is getting hotter. Ed Hardin of the Greensboro News-Record advocates the move in light of the continued success that the Wachovia Championship is enjoying in neighboring Charlotte.
In a way, this is all so hard to understand for us in Greensboro. Everything is so [...]
Australian golf course architect Michael Clayton made that statement regarding the 17th hole at Sawgrass.
Personally, I find that sad commentary on American golf. For the most part, though, he’s right about the 17th hole summarizing what many Americans’ want out of their golf – ultimate risk and ultimate disaster. Sure, if the participant succeeds, he’s [...]
The Gallery opened its doors today with some of the world’s greatest courses. (Note the button at top also links to the Gallery.)
Please stop by and check out the pictures. Special thanks to Philip Gawith and Michael Kim who contributed this round. If you have photos of a golf course, please e-mail them to me [...]
The drought in Florida has claimed its first golf victim – the Osprey Point Golf Course in Boca Rotan. Osprey Point is to be a 27-hole municipal golf course owned by Palm Beach County and part of the South County Regional Park.
The suspension of the permit to water the course resulted in the county stopping [...]
Believe it or not, but mobile phones have not been banned at the Open Championship – until this year.
During last year’s Open at Hoylake, Tiger Woods complained about their use on the final day. “It wasn’t the professional photographers, it was the gallery,” reported the champion. “Cameras or camera phones kept going off while we [...]
The Open Championship might be a couple of months away, but it’s never too early to discuss course setups. John Philip, the head greenkeeper at Carnoustie, has said that the course won’t be the course it was in 1999. Philip believes, barring high winds, that the winning score will be around 10-under – a far [...]
That’s kind of like saying Tiger Woods will appoint Tiger Woods to manage Tiger Wood’s first design. Anyway, we’ve got some good corporate speak here.
Abdulla Al Gurg, Project Director of The Tiger Woods Dubai said: ‘While partnering with IMG creates numerous synergies, we selected IMG because we believe that their highly tailored and ’boutique’ management [...]
It’s not often that PGA Tour players discuss golf course architecture, let alone take up for a dead guy (as the renaissance-era golf course architects are often referred to). But a squabble has apparently broken out on tour over the host course for the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The current host course is Forest [...]
