Watercolor Paintings and Insights from the Artist on the DANGEROUS  BEAUTY of Modern Golf Course Design   Samuel Ingwersen, AIA, Artist/Author  Michael Hurdzan, PhD, ASGCA Fellow, Contributing Author You will enjoy Sam’s 145 watercolors of gorgeous golf course landscapes. They are not only a delight, but they illustrate the authors’ argument of how contrived landscape effects in pursuit of memorable looks have become a “dangerous beauty” and a danger to the game. A movement to improve visual looks started in the late Victorian Era and has now gone too far. Ten million US players have recently quit playing and the industry is baffled. The game of golf has endured for 500 years. Yet the game, as a players’ game, is now in peril. This revolutionary book is about course aesthetics, game structure and how landscape effects have negatively impacted the enjoyment of the game. The book is an intriguing story of the allure of beauty and it's seduction of the game.
