Winter 2020 issue of ASGCA’s By Design magazine is out now

The Winter 2020 issue of By Design magazine from the American Society of Golf Course Architects is now available in digital format.

The cover story – The gold standard – explores how the work and philosophies of Golden Age golf course architects such as Charles Blair Macdonald, Seth Raynor, Perry Maxwell, Tom Simpson, Robert Hunter and Alister MacKenzie continue to inspire today’s designers.

Elsewhere, Forrest Richardson describes his deep respect for golf course architecture’s past, and his vision for the future; there are profiles of the six projects recognised by ASGCA's Environmental Excellence Awards programme and Thad Layton of Arnold Palmer Design Company discusses the thinking behind a short par-three hole at Fasano Las Piedras in Uruguay.

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.
