I'm building a program that should help golf courses and golf course architects design better courses. I've been writing about it on my blog. My goal is to start a golf architectur…

Yes! A fun anecdote from my defense was that this element of logic "did not exist before some time" or something. One of my citations was a book from like, the 1700's or something,…
