Plan Drawings + Sketches

While not entirely necessary to complete a successful project, plans and sketches can be very useful to convey and share ideas. Perhaps more popularly, they can also work as decorative pieces long after a project is finished.

*Plan for Sallandsche bunker project, completed after the work for the club’s scorecards.*

*A commission by a private client to create a blueprint style drawing of one of their favorite courses—Coore and Crenshaw’s naturally scrubby Sand Valley*

Above: a closeup of the blueprint along with a few “on the table” images of the drawing in progress. A rugged, natural style was employed to most closely match the character of the course’s textured setting.

*Another commissioned drawing of Lawsonia Links, taking heavy inspiration from Langford’s drawing there as well as his other drawings and engineered blueprints*

Above (in order left to right): Langford’s Lawsonia plan, Wakonda plan, a detail example of large numbering and bunker detail, closeup of the Lawsonia blueprint in the clubhouse, and a closeup of my drawing in blueprint form

*Another “blueprint,” this time for Blue Mound and done in Seth Raynor’s simplistic style, a departure from my typical graphic inclinations. Fun to push myself in a different direction!*

Above: various Raynor inspirations, including strong ones from Blue Mound itself

*Conceptual routing for Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw's "Lost Farm" in Tasmania. Topographic map was given courtesy of associate Dave Zinkand and course owner Richard Sattler.*

*Analysis of the inspirational hole for Charles Blair MacDonald’s “Leven Hole” template.*

*Plan drawing for a proposed Vietnamese project by golf architect Mike DeVries.*

Another plan drawing for Mike DeVries — *Another plan drawing for a Mike DeVries master plan*

*This was a concept for a naturalized area for the 9th hole at Sallandsche, which was just left to be heather.*

*Sketch of Banff Springs with it's iconic setting and hotel.*
