Summary

506 Premium: Golf Course Architect David McLay Kidd designed the first course at Bandon Dunes to be like the courses he grew up with in Scotland. But he also wants to create golf courses that provide the amateur golfer with hope, not frustration. David tells us how he got the bug by spending a lot of time learning and working with his father, golf course superintendent Jimmy Kidd. He also shares his design philosophies, and how the average player can take advantage of his layouts for their own success.
