    HOT ARCHITECT: Gil Hanse
    Among contemporary golf architects, no one's star is rising faster than that of Gil Hanse-and deservedly so. Hanse, who studied landscape architecture at Cornell, pays close attention to what he calls the "finer brush strokes," not only driving a bulldozer alongside his design partner, Jim Wagner, but also shaping bunker edges and greens by hand. "The guy whose name goes on the project," he says, "is the last guy who's raking the contours of every putting surface. You can't get any finer than that."

    The Golf Course Doctor is In
