More Wide Open Fairways: A Journey Across the Landscapes of Modern Golf By Bradley S Klein. Published by University of Nebraska Press, 2013.

As golf courses move away from the "big business, pristine lawn" approach of recent times, Bradley S. Klein, a leading expert on golf course design and economics, finds much to contemplate, and much to report, in the way these wide-open spaces function as landscapes that inspire us, stimulate our senses, and reveal the special nature of particular places. More The Open Championship 2010: The Official Story By The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St.Andrews. Published by Arum Press, 2010.
