Those in the golf world received the sad news yesterday from the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) that the enormously respected Ed Seay had died, at the age of 69.
Seay partnered in the golf course design business with Arnold Palmer in 1972, and formed with him the Arnold Palmer Course Design Company in 1979. In all, Seay was involved with the design and promotion of over 350 courses worldwide, including over 250 with Palmer.
Some of Seay’s notable work can be enjoyed at the Kapalua Village Course on Maui, Old Tabby Links in South Carolina, and Tralee Golf Club in Ireland.
Photos of more of Seay’s impressive and expansive body of work can be found in the Architects Gallery section of the ASGCA website (follow link above).
Prolific golf course architect Ed Seay died August 14, 2007, at his home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

I hear that he's working on cloud complexes now. God's having a little trouble with the high handicappers. -

I was lucky enough to be a delegate at a turf conference a few years ago when Ed was the keynote speaker. It was one of the best presentations I've ever seen. He was humble, funny and entertaining and he spent a very long time afterwards answering questions and meeting people. A real class act

Looks like he was a bit under par!
