This new version adds a few features and gives it a more modern, look. The colors are also more golf like – taken directly from the photo of St. Andrews Beach (thanks to Philip Gawith for the photo) that appears in the header.

I’ve got a couple more tweaks to make on the site and please feel free to give any feedback either positive or, even more helpful, negative. (I know the colors aren’t right on the tables for the architects and photo gallery – those will be fixed shortly.)

I’ll also be making a return to blogging much more often – spring is in the air and I’m ready to wade back in.

As always – thanks for visiting.

]]> http://www.earthgolf.com/2008/03/12/site-redesign/feed/ 1 Architects page updated http://www.earthgolf.com/2008/01/07/architects-page-updated/ http://www.earthgolf.com/2008/01/07/architects-page-updated/#comments Mon, 07 Jan 2008 21:37:25 +0000 Taylor Anderson http://www.earthgolf.com/2008/01/07/architects-page-updated/ I’ve done an extensive update of the Architects page to list a good number of the architects currently designing golf courses. This includes all of the ASGCA folks, and many, many more who are not members of the ASGCA. This list differs from that on the ASGCA site in that it includes an architect’s website, many of which are either absent on the ASGCA website or have incorrect links.

As I state on the page, this list is not intended to be complete, but represents my best effort to date of identifying the architects working today. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not consistent in my listing of professional golfers. While I’ve included golfers like Brad Faxon, Johnny Miller and Davis Love III, I’ve omitted many others like Ernie Els, Vijay Singh and Fred Couples who have courses credited to them, but I feel aren’t really a part of the golf design. I’m willing to be wrong and have them included in the list, but it’ll take some convincing. I’ve included the guy that does the majority (all) of their designs anyway in Brit Stenson.

Finally, a word on Tiger Woods presently being omitted from the page. I have included the person mostly likely responsible for his design projects in Beau Welling. I’ll include Tiger once two things are in place: A course is open and it is shown that he is involved heavily in the design of the course.

If you know of architects missing, or websites that I’ve been unable to locate (i.e. no link associated with their name) please comment or drop me an e-mail. Many of those who don’t have a website associated with their name is because, inexplicably, Tom Fazio does not have a website. To those architects who don’t have a website – for shame!

While this isn’t the seminal list of books on these topics, it does provide what many consider to be the best books in the field. I’ll update the list from time to time and please feel free to comment or e-mail on titles you feel should be there.

In other words, the site is located at www.earthgolf.com instead of www.earthgolf.com/golf. You shouldn’t have noticed any interruption – in fact, you may not have noticed it at all since a redirection is in place to keep everything running smoothly. But you should update your bookmarks anyway.

I, along with my entire family, have been sick the past couple of weeks and that’s knocked me out of having time to update the site. Finally, we’re on the road to recovery and I’ll be updating the site once again.

How bad has it been? Even our dog is on antibiotics at the moment.
