Where's the value of building something
that looks great if it lacks functionality?

That seems to be the way that most Shapers look at a golf hole, unfortunately. If I've heard it once, I've heard it a hundred times "Function is not my job, it's the Architects." "WRONG!!" Conceptual ideas do not always work, sometimes it is necessary to make field adjustments. Just one "Function" adjustment can dramatically change the overall "Form," and in some cases "Dictate" it. The Architect is not there all the time, so a Shaper who can spot functional problems can save himself and the Architect valuable time.

Learn more about how I apply this philosophy to achieve the results YOU demand!

I hope you enjoy your visit.
