PGA Master Professionals
PGA MEDIA GUIDE PGA Master Professionals The PGA Master Professional program was established in 1969 to recognize PGA members who make a significant effort to improve themselves as golf professionals and maintain the highest degree of excellence for themselves and their operations. With the launch of the PGA Certified Professional Program in 2004, the PGA Master Professional Program now originates from the PGA Certified Professional Program. Any PGA member who becomes certified has eight years of combined experience/education and is eligible to work toward Master Professional status by preparing a special project in one or more of the six designated career paths that meets the approval of examiners. The Master Professional applicant will present his or her project to a panel of examiners and answer questions on the project. PGA members who achieved Master Professional status under the former education program were “grandfathered” into the new program and are included below under the career path most closely associated with their thesis. Note: PGA members can achieve Master Professional status in more than one career path, which is why several members appear multiple times in the listing below.

The Golf Course Architects of Park Ridge
THE GOLF COURSE ARCHITECTS OF PARK RIDGE The Story of the men who shaped the Park Ridge Country Club Golf Course PREFACE When the game of golf and its golf courses had their beginnings in the United States in the late 1800s, there was no such thing as a golf course architect per se. Virtually all of those who “laid out” the rudimentary courses on which the game was played were players of the game, some professional and some amateur, and they continued in the dual role of player-designer. It wasn’t until the second decade of the 20th century that golf course design began to separate itself as a singular career, a career that blossomed into the glorious title of golf course architect in the “Golden Age” of the 1920s. The primary designers (architects) of the Park Ridge Country Club golf course followed the early pattern. H.J. Tweedie was both an active player and course designer until his untimely death in 1906. Tom Bendelow was the first to emphasize course design over playing as he traversed the country laying out courses. In 1918, William Langford became the first Park Ridge architect to form his own course design firm. David Esler was formally educated in landscape architecture. He interrupted an early career as a golf course architect to take a stab at professional golf, but quickly returned to form a course design company. The objective of this document is to provide additional information about the careers of the course architects who formed today’s Park Ridge golf course. -

In Georgia by John Companiotte
THE DONALD ROSS LEGACY IN GEORGIA BY JOHN COMPANIOTTE IN recent years golf course architect Donald Ross’s contributions to the game have been reinvigorated by the playing of the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 course. That course was Ross’s work- shop for nearly 50 years and it still retains some of the basic features associated with his design work. Open front greens allowing a run-up approach shot, a lay- out following the natural contours of the land, shallow bunkers and greens whose surfaces sit perched above their sur- rounds are some of the typical attributes of a Ross design, although not present at every course where he worked. According to Jack Nicklaus, “His stamp as an archi- tect was naturalness.” MAY/JUNE 33 orn in 1871, Ross (1925); Forest Hills Golf Club (1926), which Seth Raynor, Hugh Moore and Bob Cupp, enjoyed success hosted the Southeastern Open in 1930 won with Brian Silva doing the most extensive as a competitor in by Jones in his Grand Slam year; Highland renovation in 2001, according to head pro- golf, winning three Country Club (9 holes, 1922); Roosevelt fessional Tommy Brannen. Silva identified North and South Memorial Golf Course (designed 18, but only nearly 37 sand bunkers in the original Ross Opens (1903, 1905, 9 were finished, 1926); The Savannah Golf plans that had been removed over the years. 1906), finishing fifth Club (1927); General Oglethorpe Hotel in Moore also worked on Athens Country in the 1903 U.S. Savannah (1929, now known as Wilmington Club. East Lake was revised by George Cobb Open and in the top 10 two other times, Island Club); and Washington-Wilkes and then renovated again by Rees Jones in and placing eighth in the 1910 British Open.
