Pete has always been generous in his advice, to his interns and others in ASGCA.
Of course, when he talks, you tend to listen and remember. A few things stand out. I walked a project with him where the owners asked what it was going to look like. He traipsed left, right, forward and back and then told the owners he wasn't sure yet. Then, when they left, he did a little dirt drawing for me, a la the Jim Urbina sand model in another thread. The lesson was to never let the owners think a design solution is too easy to come by, even if you kinda know what you are doing.
His other direct lesson came when I was lamenting over some green contouring critiques at my first design project. (by the press, members, etc. at a soft opening) He asked where the course was. Upon finding out it was in Atlanta, he told me to go the next opening saying "We wanted the best greens in the state, and that means more contour than Augusta!" I tried it, and everyone in the crowd started nodding in agreement. I was like the guy in Animal House (she bought it! she bought it!) The lesson: Never apologize for anything. Everything is just the way you wanted it......(and, the bigger the tale, the easier it is to swallow.....)
I probably absorbed a few more professional lessons from Dye over the years but those are the most relatable. BTW, got a few more good design and life lessons from Alice, too!
