BEST OF THE WORLD
From the craggy coastline of California to the legendary links of Scotland,
these are the clubs, resorts, courses, holes and people that shape the game.



DIABOLICAL GREENS
A green is the human face of a golf hole. It has a set of immutable features, such as size, grain and contour, over which play a host of mercurial moods determined by grass height and pin placement. The most devilish greens combine a degree of severity in all their aspects, and so resemble less a beloved family member than Rasputin in a fit of pique.
