Golf’s playing fields have recognizable characteristics – fairways, greens, bunkers, and water hazards – but golf is the only sport played on a field with no specifically defined dimensions. “Golf’s Grand Design” focuses on golf course architecture from the 1880s through present day and highlights some of America’s best known and most influential courses.
Cupp and Whitten, 1996 winner of the ASGCA Donald Ross Award, have written a companion book for the documentary, also called “Golf’s Grand Design.” The book, published through a grant by the Stransky Foundation and utilizing the assistance of the ASGCA Foundation, will be available for purchase through Amazon.com, PBS and the ASGCA website, www.asgca.org, after the documentary airs in August.
