I feel compelled to relate to all interested parties how often during my year-long "Dye-tinerary" a pro or GM would tell me that their course was a "typical Pete Dye." My conclusion after intensive research: (and I mean intensive--just the Indiana--Ohio portion of my journey was 15 separate courses played in 9 days, including 1,000 road miles and writing two chapters a night until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m.) Ain't no such thing as "typical Dye." The Indy portion of the trip was particularly interesting--seeing the genesis of Pete's very early work--his first 9 at what was then El Dorado, now known as Dye's Walk. An even better example--Maple Creek (originally known as Heather Hills) his first 18. It's from the early 60s, but seems of the "Golden Age," with the small greens, simple routing, lack of intrusive bunkering and almost non-existent cart paths. Then he hit his stride with Crooked Stick, his first "big-time" course, and onward/upward with The Fort, the reworking of Brickyard, Purdue, etc. The fact he and Tim Liddy built Purdue with student help exclusively is one of the most notable features of that project, difficult and long though the course may be.
