Pete Dye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pete Dye (born December 29, 1925 in Urbana, Ohio) is a golf course designer and a member of a famous family of course designers. Dye has degrees from Rollins College, Stetson University, and Purdue University. He is married to fellow designer and former amateur champion Alice Dye since 1950.
Dye is considered to be one of the most influential course architects in the world. His designs are known for distinctive features, including the use of railroad ties to hold bunkers and small greens. His design for the Brickyard Crossing golf course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway utilized the dismantled outer retaining wall from the race track.
In 2005, Dye became the sixth recipient of the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award.
