When contemplating golf, many may conjure notions about a particular player or
tournament, if not some great excuse for taking off early from work.What may not
be immediately considered is the measure to which golf has impacted economies as
well as human lives through the creation of an industry; an industry that has spurred
the creation of jobs, innovations in engineering and environmental practices, and more
philanthropic benevolence than all other sports combined.As a game, as TomWatson
once said, “No other combines the wonder of nature with the discipline of sport in
such carefully planned ways.” In the realm of golf, one organization has added to the
vitality of the industry through careful planning which combines the wonder of nature
with the discipline of responsible course design and construction.
