 Born in 1955, P.B. (Paul Burke) Dye is the youngest son of Pete and Alice Dye.
Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, father, mother, and
brother, P.B. has been “moving dirt” for as long as he can
remember. Like his father’s creations, his courses often include
railroad ties, pot bunkers, and island greens. Embracing ‘The Dye
Way’ -- a personal commitment to “roll-up your
sleeves” hard work and quality, he has no office, staff, or
overhead and often lives on job sites, designing and building courses
himself. For his signature course, he spent over 120 days on-site,
climbing on the bulldozer along with his crew to build the P.B. Dye
Golf Club.
A non-stop storyteller and talker, P.B has always been a free spirit
who never wears a wrist watch or looks at a calendar. Called a
natural-born wizard on a tractor, P.B. is well-known to have aimed a
bulldozer into the woods to begin his 30-plus courses which are mostly
located in the eastern half of the country. In addition to the P.B. Dye
Golf Club, his other acclaimed designs include The Honors Course in
Tennessee, Fisher Island in Florida, and the Legends Club Moorland
Course in South Carolina.
Maintaining two residences, P.B. follows the golf season, living in
Ohio during the summer and in Florida during the winter with frequent
visits to the family compound in the Dominican Republic. He graduated
from the University of Tampa in 1980 and is fluent in Spanish.
In 1998, the National Golf Foundation named the Dyes as the Golf Family
of the Year. Grinning, P.B. claims, “My whole family is
crazy… I just happen to like our insanity!” Fittingly, his
favorite bumper sticker reads, “My other car is a
bulldozer.” |
