Spain Golf Courses

Rees Jones explains Santander Golf Course this way : My style emphasizes the definition. I spend much time thinking how to create in the player a feeling as he prepares each shot .I want the player to be able to visualize or imagine the shot immediately afterwards he sees the target.
