Quadrilateral: Major(s) News & Notes, June 9, 2022

Nature must always be the architect’s model. The lines of bunkers and greens must not be sharp or harsh, but easy and rolling. The development of the natural features and planning of artificial work to conform to them requires a great deal of care and forethought . . .it is good to have an eye for the beautiful. Often it is possible, by clearing away undesirable and unnecessary trees in the margin of fairways, to open up a view of some attractive picture. Strive to retain as much of the natural ground formation as possible. The most beautiful courses are the ones that hew most closely to nature. STANLEY THOMPSON
