The Carmel Clay History Museum is currently presenting an exhibit on golf in Carmel entitled, “In Full Swing, The Golf History of Carmel.” I am very pleased to be a part of the exhibit and to have loaned pieces from my collection.

Announcement: I have retired from Golf Course Architecture. I am dealing with health issues and am dedicating myself to my family and personal pursuits. Golf Design Group, Inc. has been officially closed. I may write more about this in the future. It’s been a great ride.

I’ve had Jordan Spieth’s third round’s second shot on 8 at Pebble Beach . My ball was about 6” farther away from the cliff. I put the shot on the front of the green. It was crazy.

Nice M/G shine today. Crew crushed the prep. I now yield the rest of my time to Mother Nature.

I’m on the shore at Ardvasar looking out across the Sound of Sleat to Lochaber. No other tune would be more fitting than Donald MacKinnon’s ‘The Sound of Sleat’ Playing this today for my friend Chris Main from Glenelg who loved these waters 💛 #TuneWithAView @CreativeScots

Incredibly sorry to hear the news that my high school golf coach, Don Huffer, passed away. A lot of memories are flooding back. Coach Huffer was his own man and one of a kind.
