Issue 11, January 2008

The first edition of Golf Course Architecture of 2008 features our most in-depth interview yet with a practising architect. Arguably the most influential golf designer alive, Pete Dye spoke to us about why his wife Alice should be blamed for his most difficult holes.

Our 'Pioneer' is Tom Simpson, profiled by an ardent admirer, the Scottish golf architect Tom Mackenzie. Sky TV's Ewan Murray remembers his playing days in our 'Player' column, and author Malcolm Peake visits the Old Tom Morris restoration project at Askernish in Scotland.

With feature articles on the use of hazards to make golf courses more interesting and the design of greens, plus On Site reports from Cobble Beach in Canada, Son Gual in Mallorca, Legend Golf Resort in South Africa, Dun Laoghaire in Ireland and Rudding Park in the UK, this is the most cosmopolitan issue yet!
