Welcome to New Monuments Golf Club, a genre-inclusive home of narratives coalescing loosely around one of the most beloved|loathed walks.

New Monuments (est. 2011), where no border prevents a crossing to Tijuana’s Agua Caliente, where Andy Warhol and my maternal grandparents star on a snowy Pennsylvania fairway, where a map and scorecard chart greed in sunny and foggy California, where the 37th President of the United States has a meltdown in the Sonoran Desert, New Monuments is a methodological field, a funhouse/cracked mirror version of its brick-mortar-and-grass template.

Look around. New Monuments, open 24/7, has 29 courses and is chipping away elsewhere (see Future Fairways). Spend the night. Join other supporters on the membership roll here by making a donation in any amount. To contribute via PayPal, go to the bottom of the page. To connect by another payment method, such as Venmo, start the discussion at the Contact page. I promise upgrades until my expiration date.

Open your wallets to ART, tightwads!

Cheers, my dear Golf Widow! Non-Members, take the hint. Members, play away!

P. S. Here’s our epigraph, courtesy of the Golf Widow:
 

See Aristotle + Socrates on degrees of ‘remove’ from original or mimetic stages, the map plays an ekphrastic role—description as a step (at least) removed from ‘actualization’—think of Robert Smithson ‘plans’ for works like the underground movie (cavern) theatre, the tugboat w/trees, island of glass, another way of creating works as non-sites?
