About

I’m a golf construction consultant working in the Northeast USA. Richardgolf serves as an information portal for my golf clients.

Richardgolf began as a college web writing project and it has grown into the largest golf construction blog on the Web.  Users include green chairmen, golf superintendents, and golf course developers from around the world.

This is a commercial-free blog with no references or hyperlinks to trade names or vendors unless needed to understand the content.

I’ve been involved in thousands of golf projects. Large productions include building White Cliffs of Plymouth (MA) with Gary Player Design and the feature layout and construction of Squirrel Run and Village Links also in Plymouth,MA.

When golf work evaporated in the mid 1990s, I worked as a construction supervisor at Spectacle Island and Fort Point Channel, part of the Central Artery Project.

I have a M.A. in Professional Writing from Umass Dartmouth and a B.S from UMass Boston. I also attended the Stockbridge Winter School at UMass Amherst
