Plus, he's so committed to his job. His golf courses, he lives with them from the day they're born. That's the Dye method. P.B. readily embraces that Dye method, yet has tried to plow his own road, too. He has his own ideas and ways of doing things.
Some kids grow up as gym rats.
P.B. Dye grew up a tractor rat. He's been steering some kind of ground-shaping machinery since he was 8 years old, when he lent a hand at one of his parents' proudest creations, Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind., the site of John Daly's stunning 1991 PGA Championship victory. Plus, I've got an Irish sense of humor. In his younger days, Dye was pretty dangerous just about every place he went. Picture the late John Belushi in the film Animal House , and you have a clear idea of P.B. in his collegiate years.
