chang Shih-chiao says that 700 years ago when golf courses first made their appearance in Scotland, it was on grassy dunes by the sea shore. Today, when one tries to move golf courses to the plains or onto steep mountainsides, one has to artificially recreate the dune terrain, and this is a crucial reason for the ecological and physical damage which golf course developments cause to the environment.
「由哪裡來，走回哪裡去」，張石角說，七百年前高爾夫球場最早在蘇格蘭出現時，是在海邊沙丘的草地上，今天要把球場搬到平原或地形起伏大的山坡地，就必須以人工方式使沙丘風貌重現，這是闢建球場造成生態和物理環境衝擊的關鍵。
