Architect Series highlights GAP’s finest craftsmen
Peek inside their minds, play their masterpieces.
The GAP Architect Series, a new program set to launch in 2020, honors some of the world’s most notable golf course architects. It gives GAP members a chance to experience some of their finest work.
The GAP Architect Series is comprised of five one-day events at venues within a preselected architect’s portfolio. William Flynn is the 2020 honoree.
Below is a list of Flynn courses and dates.
- Philadelphia Country Club (May 27)
- Eagles Mere Country Club (June 11)
- Lancaster Country Club (July 30)
- Huntingdon Valley Country Club (Aug. 3)
- Rolling Green Golf Club (Sept. 14)
The GAP Architect Series includes lunch and golf. Tee gifts will be distributed prior to the opening event at Philadelphia Country Club. A closing dinner will take place during the Rolling Green event. Wayne Morrison, one of the foremost experts on William Flynn, will serve as a featured speaker. Morrison is co-author of “The Nature Faker,” which chronicles Flynn’s contributions to golf architecture, course construction, agronomy and turf science.
Cost to participate in the GAP Architect Series, which includes entry into all five events, is $1,200 per person. Registration opens Monday, Feb. 10 and will be first-come, first-serve via the Association’s website, www.gapgolf.org. A participant can substitute if he/she is unable to attend one of the events.
The GAP Architect Series will become a programming fixture. Among the minds to be magnified: Donald Ross, the Fazios (George and Tom) and the Gordons (William and David). The Philadelphia School of Architecture is also expected to be featured.
