In golf the playing field is also landscape, where nature and the shaping of it conspire to test athletic prowess. As golf courses move away from the "big business, pristine lawn" approach of recent times, Bradley S. Klein, a leading expert on golf course design and economics, finds much to contemplate, and much to report, in the way these wide-open spaces function as landscapes that inspire us, stimulate our senses, and reveal the special nature of particular places.
A meditation on what makes golf courses compelling landscapes, this is also a personal memoir that follows Klein's own unique journey across the golfing terrain, from the Bronx and Long Island suburbia to the American prairie and the Pacific Northwest. Whether discussing Robert Moses and Donald Trump and the making of New York City, or the role of golf in the development of the atomic bomb, or the relevance of Willa Cather to how the game has taken hold in the Nebraska Sandhills, Klein is always looking for the freedom and the meaning of golf's wide-open spaces. And as he searches, he offers a deeply informed and absorbing view of golf courses as cultural markers, linking the game to larger issues of land use, ecology, design, and imagination.

Highly Recommend for Aggressive Chewers!
I recently purchased the JAYU PET Toothbrush Toy Dog Chew Toy, and it has exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for dog chew toys that are both durable and functional, this is a great choice. My dog is an aggressive chewer, and this toy has held up extremely well without breaking or wearing down. What I love most is how it helps clean my dog’s teeth while chewing. The textured design removes plaque and tartar naturally during playtime. It’s much easier than brushing my dog’s teeth manually, and my dog actually enjoys using it. This dog dental toy is perfect for small and medium dogs and keeps them busy for long periods, which helps reduce boredom and destructive behavior. It’s sturdy, safe, and clearly designed with dental health in mind. Overall, this is one of the best dog chew toys I’ve purchased—durable, engaging, and great for maintaining my dog’s oral hygiene. I will definitely be buying another one!

Not for aggressive chewers
My 14 pound puppy chewed a big chunk out within 30 minutes. Would not recommend if you have a dog that likes to tear into things

Not for aggressive chewers as labeled; poor quality
Really disappointed in this item. My barely 16 lb., 1 1/2 yr old labradoodle chewed right thru the plastic in literally 6 seconds. I was going to toss it but at $18, the item should live up to its description-this toothbrush toy is rated 80% on the aggressive chew scale as per packaging…NOT AT ALL! She bit off a couple off chunks immediately, then proceeded to bite off the spikes…couldn’t believe how quickly the toy was destroyed & I took it away within moments of giving it to her.

great for my dog
my 1 y/o pomeranian won’t let me brush her teeth. she also needs a lot of enrichment. i love putting a dollop of toothpaste, some wet food & few pieces of kibble in this toy for her. it keeps her busy for about 10 minutes and she really enjoys playing with it while consuming everything she can out of it. wonderful way to enrich while giving dental care. she is also a pretty good chewer and it’s still in one piece!

Terrific toy for puppies!
I love this dog toy! I put treats inside the soft teeth of the toy so that my puppies have to work to get them out. By doing so, they are cleaning their teeth and enjoying a mental challenge at the same time. I love watching them roll the toy across the floor as they try to figure out how to get the treats out. Adorable! And it keeps them occupied for a long time.
