Josh Pettit

Brian Schneider, a golf architect who learned the game through hands-on maintenance at elite courses, and Josh Pettit, founder of the Alister MacKenzie Institute and expert on McKenzie’s templates, unpack how early Augusta drew from Old Course ideas. They trace Eden, Road Hole and Redan echoes, debate maintenance-driven design lessons, and explore how original width, mounding and bold greens shaped strategic play.
