Tripp Davis was a celebrated junior golfer and was an All-American selection at the University of Oklahoma in 1989 and a member of the Sooners’ 1989 NCAA championship team. Rather than pursue a career as a player, however, Tripp got a masters’ degree in Landscape Architecture and over the past 30+ years he has had a notable career as a golf architect. We talk with Tripp about what made him decide to become a golf architect, what his architectural style is, how he compares restoration work to original designs, why Golden Age architecture is so popular today, what golf architects he most admires, and his thoughts on the current period of golf architecture.
