Abstract/Contents:Profiles golf course designer, Tom Doak, highlighting his career development and achievements. Explains that "Doak's minimalist philosophy has helped make him one of the leading golf course designers in the world...he travels the globe designing courses from Pennsylvania to Oregon, and from New Zealand and Australia to Scotland." Notes his work in Michigan, stating that "in 1999, Doak completed [a] Michigan commission, Lost Dunes, a private club near Bridgman. Doak's crew encountered numerous hurdles with the site, a reclaimed sand quarry bisected by I-94." Concludes that "even is [as] others consider Pacific Dunes to be Doak's best course, like a good father, Doak resists picking favorites."
