Keith Cutten - The Evolution of Golf Course Design

Keith Cutten from WAC Golf joins us today to explore the historical evolution of golf course design.

Keith is a golf course architect who has worked with design build practitioners such as Bill Coore, Ben Crenshaw, Rod Whitman, Dave Axland and Jeff Mingay.

As part of his Masters in Landscape Architecture at the University of Guelph in 2012, Keith carried out extensive research into the evolution of golf course design. This research was later (2018) repurposed into an exellent book entitled The Evolution of Golf Course Design.

Over the course of our chat we cover wider themes such as culture, capital, sociology, art and industry as drivers of the wider game of golf. We also consider the King of Clubs, OTM, some of the men of Musselburgh and Horace Hutchinson effects on golfs historical trajectory.

Many thanks for tuning in, we hope you enjoy our chat!
