I only played OHE once (almost exactly 1 year ago) ...but the "new" holes were definitely quite jarring. Its a wonderful club with a great history so this is a good move, I think.
Who is Andrew Green?
Andrew Green is a golf course architect and the president of Green Golf and Turf. He's a devoted husband and father of three. He earned both a Bachelor's of Landscape Architecture and a Bachelor's of Science in Turfgrass from Virginia Tech in the early 2000's. Upon graduation he immediately began working for McDonald & Sons based in Baltimore, MD. He cut his teeth for over a decade working with Chip and Eric before recently striking out on his own. His design King Carter GC in Kilmarnock, VA while with McDonald & Sons was voted best New Affordable Public by Golf Digest in 2006 and his recent solo renovation of Whitemarsh Valley CC was voted 5th best remodel by Golf Digest in 2015. His tenure with McDonald & Sons also provided Andrew with invaluable construction experience at some of the most storied venues in the U.S. including Congressional, Merion, Pine Valley, and Shinnecock Hills.
Andrew is an old soul when it comes to golf architecture and has spent considerable time working on William Flynn designs. We were classmates, intramural golf partners, and have remained close friends the past 20 years. Prior to this announcement his being awarded the renovation of Inverness Club in Toledo could be considered Andrew's breakthrough moment in his career. Obviously being awarded the work is one thing and the final result will be scrutinized and judged with a fine-toothed comb by all of us classic architecture aficionados, but I'm extremely happy for him because I know how hard he has worked for this opportunity and I know how much he truly loves golf and classic architecture.
