Golf is struggling...we all know that. There are a few things that keep coming up as to how we can get our game back. One common theme is affordability and that must start with course design. The Golf Course As Art website has posted a video on the subject in a video from the 2012 Symposium On Affordable Golf.

As most have heard by now, the Bear Mountain Golf Course is planning to remove 9 holes from the Mountain Course in order to make room for more housing. As the Times Colonist has recently posted, this will not happen without a fight.

I know I look at just about any piece of land and think about how I would or could fit in 9 or 18 holes.

Just about anyone I know who plays golf is familiar with Pete Dye. Most recently the Pete Dye designed Ocean Course at Kiawah Island played host to the PGA Championship. I was able to find an interesting interview from the Going for the Green website and have posted it here.
