Bruce Charlton, ASGCA
Old Tom Morris was a triple threat: pioneering superintendent, professional golfer
and golf course designer. How can you take the knowledge base and skills you've
developed as a superintendent and apply them to golf course design? Bruce Charlton,
ASGCA and designer of Chambers Bay (the course recently awarded both the 2010 U.S.
Amateur and 2015 U.S. Open), gives you a crash course in the evolution of golf course
architecture and techniques for its practice. Beginning with the roots of the profession
in Scotland, following its evolution during the "golden age of golf course architecture"
in the 1920s, and into today's challenges with technology and environmental sensitivity,
Charlton describes design theory and talks about what today's architects tackle.
