Golden Era Inspiration

Billy Fuller has been a student of Golden Era Golf Design principles for 40 years, starting with his years as Golf Course Superintendent at Augusta National Golf Club from 1981 to 1986.  Immediately following Jack Nicklaus’s ’86 Master’s win, Billy left his position at Augusta National to pursue his lifelong dream of golf course architecture with world-class architect Robert E. “Bob” Cupp.  From 1987 to 1997,  Billy made many trips to Scotland and England while designing two courses in England with Cupp, studying the works of the founding fathers of strategic design.  From 1986 to 2005, he continued his studies across North America while assisting Cupp with more than one hundred new golf courses and 30 plus renovations.
