The age of our firm has permitted us first hand, unfettered access to an assembly of classic designs in their native state, well before the concept of "restoration". Below is a listing of clubs and their original designer with which we've consulted in various capacities.

HURDZAN GOLF
3 Generations of Timeless Course Design
In 2013, our firm received the Old Tom Morris award, our third of the three "Majors" of our profession. Completing this non-playing "Grand Slam" is historically significant, as only four others had done the same; Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Byron Nelson and Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Time has since added to that list Pete Dye, Rees Jones and the design team of Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw .
