From a Jim Furyk ASAP press page (

"No, I have to tell the truth. Quite honestly it's an age of architecture that you know that I've never been all that comfortable with. When I stand on most of the holes early on in my career I was not comfortable with this golf course at all. It's a manufactured golf course.
What Pete Dye is really, really good at is taking a very difficult piece of land, and this was swamp land at one time. He took a very, very difficult piece of land and made a very difficult golf course out of it.
But in doing that, you have to push a lot of dirt around. He's got a lot of sharp edges. We talked about those long bunkers where you're not sure how much you're supposed to bite off. It's an awkward look. Whistling Straits is right down that alley. It's probably the most awkward and the most intimidating and the most -- I've heard his shapers -- he calls it visually disturbing. It's the most visually disturbing golf course I've ever played.
This one to me was like that early in my career. Now that I've played here a lot, I've gotten used to it, and it's not disturbing to me off the tee. I know where I'm supposed to put it, I know what's good, what's bad, and where I should put the ball off the tee. Early in my career I think I struggled just because I was never comfortable on the golf course."
To which age does Furyk refer? Must be 1965 to 1990, as it seems to me that the Dye era barely predates our current one.
