EXPERIENCE

Having started his career with Ault, Clark in 1971, Tom has significant experience in all phases of golf course architecture. He assumed co-ownership of the firm in 1989.

Tom has been Project architect for hundreds of projects, including improvement planning to existing golf courses; site evaluation and design of new golf facilities ranging from tournament players' courses for the PGA TOUR to executive and par 3 golf courses, and golf course/homesite developments. In addition, these facilities have been provided for all types of operation such as municipal or public, resort, and private. Projects have taken Tom throughout the United States and abroad to countries including Korea, Ireland, Canada, and Mexico.

Tom is a 'hands-on' architect, who is involved in a project 'from plans to play' - preparing the various plans and specifications, assisting in the bid negotiation process, and providing personal on-site observations during construction to ensure that the work is being properly implemented, both on time and within budget. He has been frequently invited to give talks and presentations at various university and professional seminars, and has had numerous articles printed in golf magazines and other related publications.

Many of Tom's projects have received awards and recognition through Golf Digest Magazine's ranking lists, including Diamante Golf Course, Ponce de Leon, Magellan, and Isabella in Arkansas - where he has 6 of the top 10 courses.  He also has courses that rank among the top 10 in Missouri, Virginia, West Virginia, and Nevada.
