EP.51 The Design Brief - Harley Kruse

Back to back segments of The Design Brief sees me this time catch up with The Golfing Greenkeeper Podcast resident Golf Course Architect Harley Kruse from Kruse Golf.
I wanted to get an update of the work Harley has been up to and also some new projects he's soon to be working on. The main point of this conversation however was to discuss working with golf courses on relatively small parcels of land. We discuss some of the challenges architects and clubs face when going through a redesign process on a small site and what things have to be considered. I also wanted to get Harley's thoughts on the question of are golf courses becoming too fast? I believe things are starting to get a bit out of control generally across the spectrum and does this have an effect on the thoughts of an architect.
I hope you enjoy this more philosophical conversation with Harley and it gets you considering your thoughts as well.
You hit 'em clean, we'll keep 'em green!
