Golfweek Features Jerry Pate Design and Teeth of the Dog - Read More
In the world of golf course designers, some of the great artistic geniuses have been deemed “Dye Disciples” after their most influential source of inspiration: the iconic Pete Dye.
Our founder, Jerry Pate, is one of them. Upon winning the Players Championship 40 years ago, Pate celebrated in the lake bordering the 18th hole of the course. He jumped in alongside other luminous figures of the day, including Dye.
A friendship and partnership would form from this serendipitous moment, leading to many a stunning golf course designed by Dye with Pate as a consultant. And today, as Pate leads our firm, he and I work together to carry on Dye’s legacy. As do many other giants of the golf course design world.
