To the people who know golf, they understand that it is more than just a game; it is a test. Because golf is such an individual sport, every golfer arrives on the greens with only one opponent; themselves. Golfers contend with sometimes unpredictable hurdles, like bad weather or an injury, and sometimes, golfers are up against steadfast challenges, like a well-designed course.

Course designers and developers are responsible for fusing artistry and playability, real with ideal, essentially marrying creativity with logic, and fun with business. Fusing the two can be difficult but when the class is through students don’t just have golf on their minds, they have it on both sides of their brain.
