Biography
Donald James Ross
by Bradley S. Klein
Transplanted Scotsman Donald Ross (1872-1948) remade the American sports
landscape in the first half of this century. At his death in 1948, he left
behind a legacy of 385 golf courses that he designed or redesigned. His
legendary creations include Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina, Seminole in
Florida, and Oakland Hills outside Detroit. His courses have hosted 21 U.S.
Opens, 15 PGA Championships, 11 Women's Amateurs and 5 Ryder Cups.
Ross was born in the north Scottish coastal town of Dornoch. There on
crumpled dunesland, he grew up playing one of the world's purest links,
Royal Dornoch. As a young man he took up "the keeping of the green." After a
year of apprenticeship at St. Andrews under the tutelage of four-time
British Open champion "Old" Tom Morris, he returned to his native Dornoch.
In those days, there was no rigid division of labor for golf professionals,
so Ross became adept not only at maintaining the grounds but also as a
player and club maker.
He was of common stock, making an adequate if unspectacular living. All that
changed when an American professor on golf pilgrimage to the sport's holy
land invited him to come to the New World to help spread the game's gospel.
Ross arrived in 1899 to run (and then re-design) the Oakley Golf Club west
of Boston. The next year, he landed an assignment with the Tufts family on a
property in North Carolina's sandhills called Pinehurst.
Eventually, he designed and (re-)built four courses at the Pinehurst resort,
none with more love and care than the No. 2 layout.
Drawing upon his extensive background in turfgrass management, he
revolutionized southern greenkeeping practices when he oversaw the
transition of the putting surfaces at No. 2 from oiled sand to Bermuda
grass. The work was done just in time for the 1935 PGA Championship. The
result was devilishly quick domed greens and a sense of impending doom for
any wayward shots.
During his summers, Ross started designing and building courses throughout
New England. Eventually, his practice spread into the Midwest and down the
Southeast coast. He maintained long associations with design colleagues J.B.
McGovern and Walter Hatch. Ross had satellite offices in North Amherst,
Massachusetts, and Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. After his remarriage in November
1924 to the former Mrs. Florence Blackinton, Ross set up a design studio at
their summer home at Little Compton, Rhode Island. It was while there that
he enjoyed an honorary membership at Sakonnet Golf Club.
