Best of Pete Dye

By our rating

Pete Dye, working with his wife Alice, brought ideas from Scottish links back to America in the 1960s and made modern golf hard again. Railroad-tie walls, pot bunkers and the island green at Sawgrass became his trademarks. His courses look more dangerous than they are. They punish the timid line and reward the golfer who reads the angle and commits to it.
