ärkts ut på flera ställen, särskilt runt hål 5, 6 och 9. Den kurviga linjen längs banans underkant markerar strandlinjen. Flera av hålen hade alltså direktkontakt med Kattegatt. Som underlag till skissen använde Brasier en stor planeringskarta, kanske från stadsbyggnadskontoret. Områdets tomter och vägar är utmärkta, men så svagt att de knappast går att urskilja på fotot. Course for Falkenberg The greens have been placed in most cases among the sandhills in order to provide approaches of interest. Greens of this typical seaside type have been copied on inland courses everywhere, but seldom has nature’s handiwork been equalled in this respect. The greens have also been placed to avoid bad drainage. A layer of good soil must be provided to promote the growth of the right sort of grass suitable for putting greens. The tee positions are elevated in most cases, providing a good view of the fairway or green as the case may be. The tees should be made large. In the writer’s experience of over 25 years playing and teaching golf, the course with good teeing grounds and greens is appreciated and becomes popular among all classes of players, is spite of other drawbacks. Therefore strong emphasis is placed on the proper construction of these points. Water should be laid on to the greens as early as possible. The places where the fishermen dry their nets tend to make the limits of the course very narrow. If a situation could be found equally suited for the fishermen, alterations of the layout should be made as shown in Plan No. 2. It is strongly recommended that the land to the northwest of the proposed course be investigated with a view of adding a further 9 holes to the course at a later date. To save alterations to the course for many years ahead the land close to the river Ätran has been left free for industrial purposes. 13
