What is a Heathlander?
Golf, unlike any other sport, has its field of play designed by an artist and that field of play is different every day. We call these artists architects but they are as much entertainers, painters and photographers as they are architects. Perhaps that's why more than any other sport, we as players discuss that field of play. We discuss what we love about courses and criticize what we don't. How they look. How they feel. How they play. How they walk. We discuss styles of courses the way a wine drinker discusses regions or varietals. We have a taste for a certain styles more than others, and that's probably what makes a discussion of heathland golf so interesting.
