Annotations for my "Golf Courses as Art" article

If you have received in the mail by now the April 11th issue of The American Conservative (article not online - subscribe here) with my long article on golf course architecture, here are links to people and places I referred to in the text. You can read along in the magazine and look up pictures of everything I refer to in writing. (First, though, let me mention that the best all-around website on golf design is www.GolfClubAtlas.com.)
