Fight with Cudgels, Francisco Goya, c. 1820–1823

“Wigs on the Green” is an archaic phrase meaning a fistfight between gentlemen.

There is a significant amount of taboo in golf culture, due to the access economy that underlies much of the game. I think those topics are worth discussing, even if they can be unpleasant. The name reminds me to write about what I think is important, even when it is unpopular.

Topics include golf architecture, golf theory, cultural norms, the economics of the golf, and the characteristics of golf design. I try to publish at least once per month: sometimes more, sometimes less. I have no intention of publishing content for the sake of content.

The essays exist as an editorial page for the work I do building the golfcourse.wiki.
