这里面讲到了一些故事，其实关于设计师的故事还很多，这里面没有涉及到罢了。文章里面对于系谱里面很多的设计师没有提到，这里面的这些设计师，在国内有过作品的，大家可能听过，但这里面很多人在国内都没有作品。里面的这些设计师，我会在以后的日子里面，慢慢给大家介绍其个人，公司，个人作品等。还有些设计师的访谈，介绍他们是怎么具体走上球场设计的道路，个人的理念风格等等具体细节。

Golf Course Architecture’s Family Tree

高尔夫球场设计师系谱

By Jim Dunlap

For many of today’s top golf architects, course design is a family tradition. For others, it’s the culmination of a well-planned career path. And for a few, it just happened. Here’s a look at how some of the industry’s most influential desingers got their start.

对于今天多数的顶尖设计师来说，球场设计就是一个家庭传统；对其他人来说，就是职业计划道路的至高点。还有其他少数设计师，却是自然而然走上了球场设计的道路。我们在这里来看看一些行业内最具影响力的设计师是怎么样开始其球场设计的职业生涯。

Pete Dye never intended to become a golf course architect. ”I was selling insurance and a farmer south of Indianapolis called me and said, ‘Why don’t you build this little 9-hole course for me?’” Dye said in recalling his first attempt at designing a golf course, more than 40 years ago.

皮特戴从来没有打算要成为一名球场设计师。“我过去一直卖保险，后来有个印第安纳波利斯的农场主打电话给我说，你能否过来给我建这个小九洞？”皮特说回想起自己第一次试着设计球场，那都是40多年以前的事情了。

“We built it, and the following fall, Dr. Harlan Hatcher, the president of the University of Michigan, came by and play it. Well, he must have had the greatest round of golf anyone ever had, because he asked me if I’d interested in building the university’s new golf course. I told my wife Alice we might as well give it a try and I’ve been diggin’ dirt ever since.”

“我们建造了这个球场，第二年秋天的时候，密歇根大学的校长哈伦博士顺道过来打球。他肯定是享受了一轮非常棒的高尔夫，因为他问我是否有兴趣建造密歇根大学的新球场。我给我妻子爱丽丝说我们或许可以试一下。从那时候起，我就开始挖土了。”

Dye, one of the industry’s most colorful and controversial designers , is unique. Most of the men and Women whose talent and vision creates golf courses today got into the profession through more direct routes. Geoffrey Cornish, a respected course designer and golf historian, has produced a detailed study indentifying 35 golf design “family tree” from which the majority of today’s architects sprung.

皮特戴，一位行业内最富色彩和争议的设计师，是独一无二的。今天大多数具有远见才识的男女球场设计师进入这个行业更为直接一些。格雷夫斯一位尊敬的球场设计师和高尔夫历史学家，从今天涌现的多数设计师中，详细研究鉴定了35个设计师系谱。

Some of the trees are traced back to industry pioneers such as Donald Ross, Alister Mackenzie and A. W. Tillinghast. A few go back even further. More recent trees begin with Dye – and include his wife Alice, Brother Roy, son Perry, grandson P.B., niece Cynthia Dye McGarey and nephews Matt and Andy Dye – and George Fazio, uncle of Tom and Jim.

一些系谱要追溯到行业前辈如唐纳德 罗斯，艾尔斯特 麦肯齐 和 提灵哈斯特那里。个别系谱追溯的更远。距离现在比较近的系谱是从皮特戴开始的，其中包括他的妻子爱丽丝，兄弟罗伊，儿子派瑞，孙子P.B.，侄女辛西娅 戴 麦格雷和侄子 麦特 和 安迪；一些起始于汤姆 法齐奥和 吉姆 法齐奥的叔叔乔治 法齐奥。

Although most the names on the family trees identifed by Cornish are related by profession and not by genetics, golf course design definitely seems to have some allure as a family business.

尽管格雷夫斯是根据职业而非遗传来确定系谱上面的名字，但球场设计似乎确实更具家族产业性。
