“Nobody knows Pinehurst golf like Richard Mandell. He’s not just a golf architect who has lived in the Village of Pinehurst, he’s studied its courses, investigated their origins and absorbed their design nuances. The Legendary Evolution of Pinehurst combines the tenacity of a private investigator with the eye and ear of a practiced course designer. This updated version offers additional insight and commentary on the continuing evolution of golf in one of the grandest communities in the world.”
– Ron Whitten, Architectural Editor, Golf Digest
“My friend Richard Mandell’s comprehensive table-top work is no exception to that rule. Not only does Richard, an outstanding young course architect with a rapidly growing resume, understand what makes great golf courses tick, but as a longtime resident of Pinehurst he’s uniquely qualified to dissect the Donald Ross mystique and reveal insights into the creation of Pinehurst that make this book a must-have for any serious student of the game.”
– Jim Dodson, Award-Winning Author of Final Rounds & American Triumvirate
“I must say his first book was extremely helpful to my partner Bill Coore and me when we were asked to restore Pinehurst Number Two. Richard’s thorough examinations about the considerable changes that have occurred are well documented, and they help serious readers understand who was responsible for the region’s courses, of which there are many.”
