I have been retained to design a three year improvement plan for Old Oakland Golf Club in Indianapolis, Indiana. I look forward to working with Steve Sterrett, the owner, Doc O’Neal, Golf Club Manager and Chase Walden, Golf Course Superintendent.
The first project is improving the bunkers on the East Nine. Shaper Derek Dirksen has been contracted to do the reshaping and adding of bunkers and associated golf course features.
I have a history with Old Oakland Golf Club as I played in high school state championships in 1975 and 1976 as well as other amateur events.
Below is the plan for the seventh green and approach. I will post updates as we progress through the project.
