Over a career that lasted from the early 1900s to the late 1940s, no other golf course architect is credited with more fine layouts - or is more revered - than Donald J. Ross. Brad Klein's Discovering Donald Ross: The Architect and his Golf Courses is a monumental work on this monumental figure in golf. The text is rich in detail, and the book is filled with old drawings, maps, and photographs of many of Donald Ross's most famous courses- several of which have been the site of numerous major championships over the years. From Oakland Hlls in Michigan, to Oak Hill in New York. From Seminole in Florida, to French Lick in Indiana. From Interlachen in Minnesota, to Inverness in Ohio. And from Aronimink in Pennsylvania, to Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. And the list goes on and on. A lot of people who play golf today know the name of Donald Ross, but not enough of them are aware of the effect this modest and unassuming man had - and continues to have - on the game. Discovering Donald Ross is a wonderful way to discover for themselves the life and work of a true artist.
