Gary feels strongly that golf should be fun, and the player should enjoy his golf experience without frustration. Economy of construction is a major concern. With the current boom in golf course development, survival may well be the keyword for new facilities in the near future. Quality is never sacrificed to this end, but designs are conceived to realize a first class, properly constructed facility and provide an affordable product within a realistic budget. The enthusiasm exhibited by golfers at courses such as Fox Run at Eureka, Eagle Knoll at Hartsburg, Eagle Lake at Farmington, and Bear Creek at Wentzville, Missouri indicates this can be accomplished.
Personal attention is present from start to finish in every project.
Client input is a major part of preliminary planning and forms the basis for course difficulty, appearance, intended use, and budget considerations. All details of design receive attention, particularly those seemingly minor items that sometimes get overlooked such as cart path location, traffic areas to and from greens, and hazard placement relative to typical shots of high handicappers. Personal site presence is always provided during construction to insure compliance with the contract documents and to assure the client of an artistic, properly constructed and finished product. After completion of construction, and after the course is opened for play, consultation with the client continues in matters relating to maintenance and operation as well as design. Gary started playing golf in his teens, and quickly developed a fondness for the game.
