PGA Championship Golf Designs
Monterey Shores was my first PGA2000 project design under the direction of Vance Cook and Headgate Studios, the developers of PGA Championship Golf . The course is included on the commercial software provided by the publisher, Sierra Sports. There were five designers involved in the project and we were free to choose the climate for the fictional courses from a list determined by Vance and his team. During the design process, we also tested the new improved PGA architect which further added to the challenge. Critical acclaim from game reviews throughout the net proved the PGA2000 to be a huge success.
The courses:
Cabo del Diablo by Brian Copfer
Canaveral Dunes by Brian Silvernail
Gloucester Golf and Hunt Club by Steve Opfer
Monterey Shores Country Club by Ken McHale
Whisperwood Golf Club by Jim Dickson

My part in the second project was to
design a fictional desert course; I named Rugged Cross, which has just been
completed. The project is named the PGA 2000 Titanium PC Edition. Sierra Sports,
under the leadership of Mike Jacob, Lead Producer, selected seven designers
including myself to design seven courses to be released with the edition. This
edition will feature our new courses designed exclusively for PGA2000. In
addition, these courses will be released to the current owners of PGA2000 for
download at a future date. Also included with this edition will be an upgraded
multiplayer online technology.
