Each plot of ground has its own personality. Desirable enhancements to those natural features surface during a detailed study of the terrain. In creating an ideal strategy for each hole, it is fundamental to incorporate these significant attributes in even the preliminary design while on-site. At the same time a fairly accurate construction budget can be derived as a by-product of this process. Information thus compiled is further considered for both its value in an engineering and strategical context. I try to never overlook even the slightest characteristics which may be incorporated into the design such that the course will retain its natural charisma, and can never be criticised as having been artificially contrived on some draftman’s table.
