That is a really great read. Sometimes you get a real feel for a chemistry between the interviewer and their subject and that was evident there, I thought.

Nice work, Jay.

Has there ever been a bad Pete Dye interview?  (other than Ran's right here on this site?)

I laughed out loud for a very long time when I first read that interview. Buddy Marucci did a decent job of matching it though!

Watching a short interview with Dye on the golf channel recently I was surprised at the glee which he exuded at the thouhgt of big numbers on his courses.....he is intent on defending par , and appears to take low scores very personally >>>>>  Interesting

Thank you, Tim and Jeff.  I'll have a video snippet with Pete from the PGA Championship next week as well.  He's one of the best and easiest interviews I've ever done.  Both times I just asked a q and just let him go.  If he said something interesting, I'd try to get more info.  I was kicking myself for not asking him about Tiger Woods, but when I wrote that on my website, one of my readers wrote in and said he was glad I DIDN'T ask about Tiger.  So now I'm kicking myself for not asking him who would win or what kind of player would do well.  Still, he's also the most fun to interview, although Strantz was a ball too.

Nice piece, Jay. It reads more like two friends chatting than an interview.

If I understand it correctly, Ran usually submits written questions and then the interviewee responds in written form.

I don't see a guy like Pete Dye sitting down and composing long answers on paper like homework.  I think his medium for interview is the conversation and as Jay did, ask and keep quiet until he is done answering, which may be several pauses to allow him to regather more recollections.  ;D

Pretty close...he's just fascinating to listen to...he' a great storyteller, and I tried to get him to elicit more when he sai something particularly toothsome.

Thanks George - that's what I was going for:)
