Are there any out there? I've read a bit about Alice Dye, did she have a major role in the designing any of the courses?

A woman I went to school with, Hattie Pavlechko, has been working for Tripp Davis for a few years now.  I don't think she has any individual courses to her credit (though I might be wrong), but she is young and has plenty of time to do a lot of work in the field.

Joanne O'Hair designed one of the abandonded courses at St. Patrick's in Donegal, but I don't think she works in the business. She was (or is) a club pro at Royal Co Down.

Her name is Cynthia Dye McGarey.  I'm not sure what you've got there, but I had trouble making sense of it.  It looks like you cut and pasted a few things together!

That is the product of 2 things.  First, an old computer that has been taken over by the forces form the Dark Side, and second, a failure to proof read before pushing "Post", which I will attribute to my mind (only temporarily, I hope) also being taken over by the Dark Side.

Thanks for catching my mistake.  Normally, I would edit my post but the mess is so over the top, I think I will leave it for all to see.
