Harry Colt – Words by Frank Pont
Harry Colt - Words by Frank Pont Harry Colt and his various partners were prodigious in their design and redesign of golf courses during what can best be described as the "classic" era for golf course architects. Despite a torrid economy immediately after WW1, whilst his competitors saw a diminution of commissions in the UK, Colt and his partners remained very active.

075 – H.S.Colt w/ Frank Pont & Ed Cartwright (Clayton, DeVries & Pont)
Bruce & Sam catch up with the gang at Clayton, DeVries & Pont again, this time to talk to Frank & Ed about the life and work of Harry Colt. In many ways, Harry Colt was the first professional golf course architect and created the profession as we know it today. Debuting with his work at Rye at a young age, he would go on to be the most prolific and arguably most influential figures in golf course design in history with over 250 courses of his own. Frank is one of the worlds leading experts on Golden Age course restoration and offers a fascinating insight into the work of Colt. Latest Products Your bag? [contact-form-7 id="850" /]

Time will tell, but if we don't get any through the cut come Friday night then this podcast will lost any of its remaining credibility! Latest Products Your bag? [contact-form-7 id="850" /]
