“Before Pete came along, golf architecture was Robert Trent Jones and that philosophy."
/The cruel disease that is Alzheimer's is claiming Pete Dye, even as the 92-year-old architect remains physically fit and able to play golf daily.
Dave Shedloski of GolfDigest.com talks to Pete's wife and sidekick Alice, as well as his sons and other architects about Dye's legacy.
“It’s the end of an era,” added Bill Coore, who worked for Dye for three years and is now enjoying a sensational run partnering with former Masters winner Ben Crenshaw. “Before Pete came along, golf architecture was Robert Trent Jones and that philosophy. That was the standard. Pete took the game and design in a different direction.”
