The Winter 2021 issue of By Design magazine from the American Society of Golf Course Architects is now available in digital format.

For the main feature, Richard Humphreys asks whether the golf industry is ready to embrace golf courses that do not comply with the 18-hole norm.

Also, Marc Whitney speaks with new ASGCA president Jason Straka, who discusses how his love of the outdoors led to a career in golf course design and his goals for his term at the helm of ASGCA.

There’s much more too, including: profiles of the golf course projects that have been recognized in the 2021 ASGCA Environmental Excellence Awards; Tim Liddy provides insight into one of the sketches he prepared for his renovation of Harrison Lake Country Club in Indiana; and news on projects in New York, Utah and Iraq.

By Design is free of charge – visit the By Design page of the ASGCA website to subscribe and review the back catalogue of digital editions.
