Donald Ross

A Dornoch Scot who came to Pinehurst in 1900 and left America some four hundred courses. Ross built on the natural line of the land, defended his holes with crowned, falling-away greens rather than with water, and asked for a running approach as much as a lofted one. The restorations of the last twenty years have brought his greens back to size; play a restored Ross and the short game is the whole examination.
