Dean Barnett writing about golf courses in the October 15th Weekly Standard:

In the 10 years of Tiger Woods's ascendancy in golf, millions more Americans have watched the game on TV than ever did before. And yet the number of people playing golf has hardly moved. This is largely because golf architects have blighted the country with courses that make playing the most enjoyable game yet conjured by man about as much fun as sticking a tee in your eye. It's said that the only two things men enjoy while being bad at them are golf and sex. Mid-to-late-20th-century golf architects seemed perversely determined to make the typical golf round so miserable that the mediocre golfer would choose clumsy love-making as his only hobby.
