"But does that make it fun? No. It makes it a kind of algebra.”

Tom Mackin catches up with architect David Kidd for the NY Times Play Magazine. I enjoyed this:

“As human beings and golf-course designers, we want perfection. And because of equipment and technology, we can go in and create that. On the perfect golf hole, I would have framing mounds everywhere and bunkers that set up the perfect strategy and line of sight, all making it conform to every single rule of thumb ever written about course design. But does that make it fun? No. It makes it a kind of algebra.”
