I was drawn to golf design because I had a love for the game, then developed a love for the golf design industry and golf architecture. Something romantic about the whole industry to me.

I think you have to be a good stick in order to be respected in…[Read more]

As for the conceptual design, it should be a general routing plan with generic bunkering and golf course character.

Other things, like drainage, earthwork, etc. would have to come from past experience…[Read more]

Of course, not everyone can do a conceptual design for the project before being awarded the project. We never did this when I was in the golf business. We always got paid for conceptual design, which is where we started with our fee, then if we determined the project was feasible, we rolled into CD’s and project…[Read more]
