| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles three former golf course superintendents, Bill Coore, Brian Silva and Kris Spence, who switched careers to golf course architecture. Mentions each man's path to becoming a golf course architect. Details that Coore graduated with a Classical Greek degree before accepting a labor job on a construction team, then a supervising job, and then eventually was given the opportunity to begin designing. Notes that Silva started out building courses before earning two degrees in turf and environmental design and starting his own company for design and renovation. Explains that Spence was inspired by the former owner of Kennett Country Club in Missouri and since then he has always held a position in the golf industry, moving to design in 1999. Concludes "that a golf course that is simple to maintain will inevitably be boring," a statement all three men stick to when designing courses. |
