Characteristics of a Golf Architect
â€œA golf architect must be a student of agriculture, understand nature, have a knowledge of soils, knowledge of implements, drainage, and above all the particular character of the layout which tantalizes a lover of the game and holds him spellbound.â€
â€“ C.B. Macdonald

Psychology of Design
â€œHow deadly dull are two or three holes of the same character when they follow each other! A drive and pitch followed by a drive and pitch is a good deal like serving a watery pudding after a watery soup.â€
â€“ Robert Hunter
The Design Process
â€œThe ability to create is to consider all the problems of a golf course. The architect must visualize the effect his work will produce from all angles of the game.â€
â€“ George C. Thomas
Utilizing Natural Features
"Now and then one finds a hole of real distinction which nature herself has modeled, and to add anything artificial would be a crime.â€
â€“ Robert Hunter
