About 12 years ago, I was on a committee that began exploring restoration of an overgrown Ross. We retained
Ron Prichard who delivered an outstanding restored course. I caught the Golf Architecture bug from him. It developed into a terminal affliction inside of this eclectic
GolfClubAtlas echo chamber. Currently working with Prichard again to repair/renovate that restored course damaged by a storm.
A few years ago, a golf architecture afflicted father named
Josh Woodward stopped by the
Donald Ross designed nine hole
Tumblebrook Golf Course in Upper Saucon with his kids. He found it was closed and went on a mission to save it. His path led to
GCAtlas member Pam(Silent Ghost) Allen, to Prichard, to Me. Woodward and I partnered, Prichard has joined our effort, and we are pleased to announce that last night, after an almost 3 year journey, the town voted to accept our terms for a long term lease to save the Tumblebrook Donald Ross Course. We'r begetting our hands dirty for the fight.
There's more good stuff to the story. Please Read the Press Release from Adam here:
