Looking for some recommended reading on the topic of golf course design and architecture. I just finished 'Nicklaus by Design' and starting 'Golf's Magnificent Challenge' now but need to add a couple to my Amazon wish list for Christmas. What are some titles you've read and enjoyed? Nice hardbacks with coffee table value after reading a huge plus.

Thanks in advance, JG. (Par 3 hole from Punta Mita thrown in just for kicks)

That was one off my list there too.

I love just about anything Tom Coyne writes. Of course Paper Tiger is his breakout and best work IMO.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 19: worked with foam balls for a while. Going slow to make sure I’m rolling and twisting. It feels weird, which is good. Going to take more work, but I’m on the way I think.

      Day 39 (16 Apr 26) - Back to easy swings as the lead foot was overly tender from yesterday - stuck to some easy pitches with wedges and a few 1/2 tempo swings with 6i.  Was good to slow down and work on setup and overall alignment…

      I saved the ball and wrote the details -- "my first eagle," course, hole number, and date on it.  Maybe I should write the yardage and the club too.

      Day 8, April 16.  Continued pelvis turn drills after work today;  I've already spent 20 minutes doing this, am taking a short break (and have fulfilled the challenge for the day) and then I'm back to it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes tonight. Driver is hit or miss, but I haven’t practiced that at all. It was a struggle to get sequencing down for the arms and lower body. I definitely have to do my downswing wrist piece a lot or I just push the crap out of the ball. Pitching needs some work. Chipping was good, chipped in twice. Putting was fine.  Shank Counter: 2
