II.The courses

55 holes across the hills.

In the order the week reaches them. Each has its own chapter: the story, the card, every hole, and the photographs.

Dawn at Ozarks National: the stone-and-timber clubhouse with its steep gable and wraparound porch on the ridge at left, above a fog-filled valley, with gold-lit native-grass mounds, bunkers and a flagged green in the foreground.
Looking back from above and behind the first green at Ozarks National: a deep grass-faced bunker front left, a rumpled fairway climbing away past bunkers and a lone dark tree, oaks on the upland beyond.
