Tom Doak

Pacific Dunes made his name and the Confidential Guide made his reputation for candour. Doak’s courses are built on site with a small crew, greens shaped by eye and hazards left rough at the edges; he prefers a short par 4 to a long one and a bold green to a bunker. Expect firmness, width and a few holes that divide opinion on purpose.
