Acknowledgements:
First of
all I want to thank the Royal Dornoch Golf Club staff and especially Mr. John
Duncan who gave me the authorization to do this design and brought me many
encouragements and kind advices.
A golf
course is not only a piece of land, but depends mostly on the people who take
care of it and of the players, and I can say that they are full part of the
spirit and beauty of that unique place.
Thanks to Mike
Jones for his bunker sod wall texture made from the front left corner
bunker of the 10th. Thanks also for all his skills, samples and
tutorials, just playing his courses is a great lesson.
Thanks to all
Links designers for the inspiration they gave me. Making some decent
courses is my way to give them all the tribute they deserve.
Many thanks to the testers :
Stewart, Jerry , Pete, Steve, Adam, Noah, Robert, André. Their accurate
eyes pointed some important lacks of the design, and I sure had never
reached that level of quality without them.
A very
special thank to my beloved wife, Sylvie, who, for 2 years, saw only my back in
front of my PC more times than it is decent and bore my despair crisis when I faced
some APCD bugs or crashes. I’m not sure she loves so much cyber-Dornoch, but
she sure wants to see the real thing by herself, if life permits…
