| Mapping the Past, Present and Future of Golf Courses |
 |
| From our Friends at the USGA Greens Section |
| All golf courses change over time. Whether that change is slow and subtle or fast and dramatic, it is inevitable. Tree growth, shifting mowing lines and continual bunker edging are good examples of processes that have gradual, but significant impacts on golf courses. Change can also happen quickly through renovation or redesign, land sales, or even the intrusion of roads and highways. Whatever the drivers of change are, the fact remains that golf courses begin changing from the day they open and continue to do so throughout their existence. Along with the evolution that every individual golf course experiences, we also see changes in how new golf courses are built. A golf course opening in 1925 would look different in many ways from a new course opening in 2021. Changes in golf course development are driven by fashions and preferences in design, changing expectations for what a golf facility should provide, and changes in how the game is played – including increased hitting distance. To better understand how golf courses have evolved, the USGA undertook an extensive study of golf course aerial photos as part of the Distance Insights Project. We looked at courses that opened from the 1920s to the present, mapping aerial images from various points in their history using digital mapping software. Through that research we sought to learn more about how individual courses change over time, how courses from different decades differ from one another, and how golf courses may evolve going forward.

| CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA | It’s been 57 years, but the memory still warms James Black as he sits at a small table in the clubhouse at the Dr. Charles L. Sifford Golf Course on a chilly winter’s morning.
The year was 1964 and Black, just 22 years old at the time, shot 67 in the first round of the Los Angeles Open at Rancho Park, putting him among the first-round leaders, just three years after the Caucasian-only clause was removed from PGA Tour by-laws. Black would finish in the top 10 that week, one of two top-10 finishes in five PGA Tour starts that year. He didn’t get rich – Black earned $2,425 in 1964 according to tour records – but he proved he could play at the highest level, something Black players had only recently been given the opportunity to do.
