Construction

The detailing of a golf course can only be great if the golf architect spends a large amount of time on the construction site giving guidance to the shapers.

Only by being on site most of the time can the architect make sure that the detailing of the greens, bunkers and other elements of the golf course are exactly as he had envisioned them. This also avoids costly and frustrating reworking of finished elements.

As Harry Colt once said "Making a golf course is more like painting a picture than building a road".

Keeping this in mind, Frank tries to make sure he spends more than half of the construction time on site.
