Curmudgeon Geoff Shackelford is an excellent author when it comes to Golf Course Architecture. He has written numerous books on the subject that are well worth a look if you like golf course design.
While I am familair with the book you mention, I have not read it as yet. When giving his opinion on the "One Ball Rule", does he say which manufacture's ball would be used and which launch conditions would determine which "one ball for all' should be used? Sounds dangerous to give certain players and advantage because their launch conditions match up to the "one ball". Fred Funk and Tiger have different conditions. Should they play the same ball
