AUG?. 11905 BOOK 61 <br />SELECTION OF GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/19/85: <br />TO: Board of Co. Commissioners DATE: August 19, 1985 FILE: <br />SUBJECT: Golf Course Architect <br />FROM: Richard N. Bird REFERENCES: <br />Chairman <br />Golf Course Feasibility Study Committee <br />1 <br />After soliciting proposals from several golf course architects, <br />and narrowing that list down to four finalists, the Golf Course <br />Architect Selection sub -committee wishes to make the following <br />recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. <br />The Committee's preference for the design of the County -owned <br />golf course to be built at Kiwanis-Hobart Park is as follows: <br />1. Ron Garl <br />2. George and Jim Fazio <br />3. Ward Northrup <br />4. Arthur Hills <br />- After visiting several golf courses in Florida designed by these <br />firms, and considerable other research, it is our opinion that <br />the County should proceed with negotiations based on the above <br />ranking. <br />Ron Garl, who is the number one selection, is world renowned for <br />his golf course architectural abilities, is located nearby in <br />Lakeland, Florida, and has shown an ability and willingness to <br />develop the Kiwanis-Hobart site into one of the most challenging <br />and enjoyable public golf courses in the State. His style of <br />developing a course in harmony with the natural topography and <br />amenities seems well suited to our County where the environment <br />and nature are ever present in our County's development. <br />GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT SELECTION SUB -COMMITTEE <br />Richard N.
