Welcome Angela! Glad to see a friendly face here.

I snapped this picture of Doak's interns (and Sims) at Bandon last fall. I couldn't help but think I was sitting around the table with the future of golf (and Sims). :)



Please identify the others in the photo.

Angela, be proud of other work experience. For every person who questions a certain job, there are many others who appreciate a good work ethic. Be bold, not defensive. Nettes Bild - Sie sehen hubsch aus. Vielleicht konnen Sie Tony Ristola schreiben. Er ist GCA aus Deutschland. Apologies if I butchered that, it's been 20 years... :)

Big drivers and hot balls are the product of golf course design that rewards the hit one far then hit one high strategy.  Shinny showed everyone how to take care of this whole technology dilemma. - Pat Brockwell, 6/24/04

Ich weiss nicht. :) There is a very nice poster who now lives in Australia who I think is from Germany. Perhaps he'll see this and respond. Also, there are several threads that have links to people's biographical info, I'll try to find one and send you the link.

Tony Ristola is a terrific guy, terrific poster. He tends to post in bunches (probably between projects or something like that).

Angela --

I know I'm dreaming, on multiple levels, but here's to dreaming that, someday, things like this -- the 16th hole at Women's National Golf & Tennis Club -- will be possible once again:

Hallo Mike, kannst du noch Deutsch sprechen/schreiben? I don't mind speaking English, but it is always nice to meet someone who speaks my native language.

Dan: Thank you for the link. I kind of like really old golf magazines.

Angela,

Welcome to the site that never sleeps! It's good to know there are women interested in the creation and design side of golf. While you are certainly a pioneer in a select group, if you follow your dreams with passion and hone your talents...you will be rewarded.
Having the wonderful oportunity to work with Tom's team has given you a superb addition to your education. All the best as you continue to learn and develop you own insights!

Your thesis comments were of particular interest to me, as our tree care company does a fair bit of work on golf course properties and we appreciate getting the thoughts of the folks that design and create the layouts we work on.

I'll IM you, and as someone of German ancestry, that is one country that is high on my list to visit and experince the golf and culture there. Your advice would be welcomed!

Cheers,
Kris 8)

"I said in a talk at the Dunhill Tournament in St. Andrews a few years back that I thought any of the caddies I'd had that week would probably make a good golf course architect. We all want to ask golfers of all abilities to get more out of their games -caddies do that for a living." T.Doak

Angela, Ulrich Mahyring is a regular at the GCA Buda Cup matches played in the UK every year.  He drives over in his Smart car!  I am not sure where in Germany he's from.

My only golf experience in Germany was at a private club outside Dusselfdorf in 1994.   There didn't seem to be much of a golf culture at that time.

Willkommen Angela!  I remember traveling through your hometown on my way from Munich to Stuttgart a couple of years ago.  I was quite sad to leave Bavaria and hope to make it back there soon.  Enjoy GCA!
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.
