Did you know?

P.B. Dye is a member of the famous Dye family of golf course designers. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather (Paul "Pink" Dye), father (Pete), mother (Alice), and brother (Perry), P.B. has been “moving dirt” for as long as he can remember. He graduated from the University of Tampa in 1980 and is fluent in Spanish.

Like his father’s creations, P.B.'s courses often include railroad ties, pot bunkers and island greens. For his signature course, he spent over 120 days on-site, climbing on the bulldozers along with his crew to build the P.B. Dye Golf Club in Ijamsville, Maryland.

Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
