On the Cover and In the News

Over the last few months, we have landed in the news and on the cover of publications around the globe. Here are just a few, along with interesting quotes from the write ups. If you happen to notice a story in one of your local papers, or magazines, we would love to have a copy to share with our readers as well as place it in the von Hagge archives. As a token of our appreciation, we'll send you a complimentary golf hat with our logo for your efforts!

GOLF COURSE ARCHITECTURE

"Great golf courses are beautiful golf courses. The only eternal thing is not the grass or trees but the light and the sun. You have to create the shadow, hour by hour and to understand how the light will fall on the features you create.
It's very painterly."

From Golf Course Architecture's "Light and Shade," an interview with Robert von Hagge, by Adam Lawrence, Editor
