Issue 4, April 2006

In this issue we raise the controversial issue of ‘signature’ design, and investigate whether the marketing gains outweigh any other losses.

Also in this issue we seek expert opinion on mixed golf and residential developments, Canadian architect Jeff Mingay profiles Stanley Thompson, and Jeremy Pern questions the industry’s obsession with course rankings.

We’ve been on site at Askernish in the Outer Hebrides to discover whether Old Tom Morris’s 1891 course can be restored and profile Muskoka Bay in Canada.

We have a feature interview with Kyle Phillips and our main news story highlights plans for a new Trump course near Aberdeen.
