Discovering Donald Ross: The Architect and his Golf Courses

Discovering the life and work of a true artist: Donald Ross I grew up playing a Donald Ross golf course Scioto Country Club in Columbus Ohio so my standards of what a good golf course should be were based on a Ross design. I think being exposed early to a Donald Ross course provided me balance as both a player and future golf course designer because of the variety of shots found throughout each of his design. Ross was without a doubt a great influence on my design career and he remains a personal favorite. I am happy to see Brad Klein devote a book to the work of Donald Ross. Brad is passionate about golf course design and that translates in his writing. --Jack Nicklaus
