Here's a few spots to assist with feeding your appetite for Architecture....Golf Course Architecture – Latest news, courses, renovations & equipment , Golf Club AtlasGolf Club Atlas . As far as a good book. Tom Doak Anatomy of a Golf Course. Love Dream Golf. I believe that was a hand out one time I visited Bandon. Either that or I bought many copies as most of the group I was with got one.
