Moving Heaven And Earth
Pondering an interesting angle from which to view golf course architecture, I realised that for most of my many years of playing I have had a firmly-held belief that courses designed by nature are superior to those that have required excessive use of diggers. In general, as in most things apart from wine, I prefer subtlety to over-the-top enthusiasm, and so I have always had a soft spot for the likes of a Cleeve Hill or a Church Stretton, perhaps England's most natural course, over say, just as an example and it’s still very enjoyable, The Brabazon Course at The Belfry.
