Rare Photo of Rod Whitman
« on: May 22, 2010, 12:16:34 AM »
In 1981 Rod Whitman was the project manager at Austin Country Club.
I had just graduated from Lake City in Florida and had previously worked at Long Cove CC with Bobby Weed.
When I reflect back on Bobby and Rod as my bosses, I have to say they were polar oppisites when it came to golf course construction management. 

Today they are both fine architects.

This is a rare photo I took of Rod rolling #13 at ACC.  Sorry for the poor quality, it was 1980 for crying out loud, no digital cameras for those younger members.  Note the fence to keep the deer out.  Also, the pea gravel for this green was installed by wheel barrows from a hill above the green.

Not sure what hole this is.
We do what we have to do.

Thanks for the pictures!

Heading up to play 36 at Wolf Creek in 2 weeks, always one of my favorite weekends every year!
