12. Around of golf should present 18 inspirations. Every hole must have in-
dividuality,” Tilly declared numerous times. He was not only an accomplished
golf course designer, but also a prolific writer. During a 40-year span, Tilling-
hast published more than 400 articles and contributed regularly to magazines
including The American Golfer, Golf Illustrated, The Professional Golfer of
America, Golf and Golfer’s Magazine.
Tillinghast started his journalistic career as a newspaper editor in Philadelphia
covering golf and cricket. Many of his pieces were syndicated in various news-
papers throughout the United States. In 1915, the expert golfer published a
successful book of golf humor titled, Cobble Valley Golf Yarns and Other
Sketches. He followed with a sequel in 1925 entitled The Mutt… And Other
Golf Yarns. Additionally, he produced three volumes of collected articles. Over
100 of his essays on golf course architecture were compiled in The Course
Beautiful.
In Reminiscences of The Links, Tillinghast provides first-hand accounts of
American golf’s early history and its links to St Andrews, Scotland. In the third
volume of essays, Gleanings from the Wayside, he recounts his experiences
as he traveled around America designing and redesigning golf courses.
The Making of a
Championship Course
A round of golf should
present 18 inspirations.
”“ Tilly took this iconic photo of Old Tom Morris, age 77, during one of several trips to
St. Andrews. Old Tom gave him golf lessons and also shared best practices for golf course
design with the top amateur player who finished number 25 in the 1910 U.S. Open.

Scitent Announces General and Thoracic Surgery eLearning Site
to Teach Surgery Through Simulation Exercises in Developing Countries
Charlottesville, Va. – October 27, 2015 – Scitent, Inc., a full-service eLearning
company that helps organizations build their eLearning business, launched General
and Thoracic Surgery Education today, a website dedicated to helping general
surgery instructors in developing countries teach surgical procedures through
simulation for commonly encountered clinical problems.
According to Dr. Thomas Daniel, the founder of General and Thoracic Surgery
Education and professor emeritus of surgery at UVA School of Medicine, numerous
programs exist where physicians and healthcare staff travel to the developing world
to treat patients and conduct surgical procedures. “These visits often only last a
week or two and leave no sustained training for surgeons,” Dr. Daniel stressed,
adding, “My motivation in launching the free course is to provide a model for
teaching the local faculty who will, in turn, teach their own residents and medical
students. Teaching the teachers will create an accelerated and sustainable training
environment.”
The General and Thoracic Surgery Education course has a responsive, mobile-
friendly design, which is critical for the developing world where users increasingly
bypass desktops and choose smart phones and tablets for Internet access.
The free course utilizes simulation surgery exercises performed with standard
surgical instruments, locally available animal tissue and inexpensive materials that
can be purchased online.
While a simulation surgery course does not replace the typical intense and
prolonged surgical training program, it does provide residents in the developing
world with a head start at experiencing surgery. “Simulation accelerates the
learning process by creating environments where you can prepare in advance by
studying procedures online, then practice on models supplemented by harvested
animal tissue without the risk of injuring patients,” said Dr. Daniel.
“We’re very pleased to support this important initiative with our course
development services, distribution technologies and LMS, but we’re particularly
excited that this work can help close the education and healthcare gaps that still
exist in the developing world,” said Deb McMahon, president and CEO of Scitent.
24. The course includes 37 videos and describes six trans-abdominal and four trans-
thoracic surgery exercises using simulation techniques, including the positioning of
a patient for a thoracotomy. Aside from saving time, the online course reduces costs
by not having to purchase textbooks and enables students to study and prepare for
in-person training.

organizations and for-profit organizations foster and grow their eLearning business
