Summary
Nicklaus by Design: Golf Course Strategy and Architecture details the Golden Bear's personal journey into the world of golf course design and admits the reader to the strategy behind his thinking - which will help improve any golfer's game. It is illustrated with magnificent photographs of important holes on his best American courses, as well as with crystal-clear, highly informative perspective paintings of selected individual holes, diagrams, working maps, and pictures of work in progress. This elegant volume will give the golfing reader a new understanding of the game as Nicklaus explains the strategy of how to read the layout of a particular hole, how to handle different types of sand and bunker designs, how to play on different kinds of grass, and how to read a green.
