Hattiesburg CC (Press Maxwell)
« on: February 03, 2009, 01:45:19 PM »
Years ago the USGA Journal  did a GGH essay here.  In that piece undulating greens were mentioned. Is anyone familiar with attributes of this Mississippi  layout ?  Good terrain ,variety , natural  setting ? 

thanks

Mark,

Hattiesburg was done by Frank "Max" Maxwell.  I believe he has worked at several courses in the area.  I think he has a company that specializes in maintenance and turf issues.  When I was researching Perry Maxwell and was looking into the history of some of the courses in the area, particularly the Lakewood Country Club in Mobile, several people thought I was working on a book about Max Maxwell.  Many had never heard of Perry Maxwell. 

I don't believe that Press worked on anything east of the Mississippi after his father died in 1952.
