Return of Golf Site of the Week:

Note: Started this back in October, but let it slip. Bringing it back with a promise to keep it alive in 2010...or at least going to make an effort to do so. If you know of a site deserving of recognition -- please let me know.

Golf Site of the Week - Golf Club Atlas - http://golfclubatlas.com/

One of my new budding interests is golf course design and architecture, and there may be no better site on the Internet for such topics than Golf Club Atlas. Since I've stumbled upon the website late last year, I think I've read most of it -- ranging from the course reviews, the opinion pieces, and the fantastic discussion forms, it is a great way to spend a few hours.

The site has a comprehensive section of interviews with all types of individuals involved with golf -- ranging from a gentleman who recently authored a book about golf courses in Indiana to multiple major winner Tom Watson. I encourage you to read them all -- not just names you recognize, as I found the relative unknowns to give truly fascinating answers and told great stories. Also be sure to check out their travel section -- they have a good sized group of members who make frequent trips to golf locations -- I only wish I was in the business (and had a financial sponsor) so I could take part in such trips. (Maybe work would pay for an second degree in golf course design?)

Be sure to check out their Art & Architecture section -- there are dozens of pieces I would love to have in my non-existent golf room. All in all, a terrific site that while maybe not updated daily, provides enough reading material to keep one busy for quite some time.
