GVSU golf course architect to give presentation

ALLENDALE, Mich. -- A pioneer in environmental golf issues returns to one of the courses he designed to give a presentation and lead a tour.

Michael Hurdzan will speak at the Meadows at Grand Valley State University on Monday, July 16. In April, Hurdzan received the Donald Ross Award, the highest honor given by the American Society of Golf Course Architects. He joins other ASGCA past presidents Robert Trent Jones, Pete Dye and members Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer as recipients of the award.

Media members are welcome to cover Hurdzan's presentation, "Universities and Golf: A Vital and Historic Linkage." His speech will begin around 12:20 p.m. (following lunch) at the Meadows Clubhouse; Hurdzan will lead a tour of selected holes at 1 p.m.

The Meadows opened in 1994; it has hosted six NCAA championships.
