In this episode of the Renovation Report sponsored by Golf Preservations, Brad Klein talks with golf course architect Jay Blasi of Jay Blasi Design about how he followed his dream to design and build golf courses against the advice of his college instructors and advisors.
Blasi talks about his work on some of the game's most high-profile properties, including Chambers Bay, Poppy Ridge, Century World and Burl Oaks.
Blasi also discusses, in the face of a complete renovation, the process for selling members and boards on the value of closing and getting everything completed at one time vs. proceeding in a piecemeal manner that takes multiple years and how doing so typically is more cost effective and yields a better end product.
