No Laying Up - Golf Podcast · 1164: Pete Dye Deep Dive Part 1 · 27 May 2026 podcast

I'm not sure that he ever found out about that one, but they lived to tell the tale.

Let's go find out.

Let's go fuck around and find out.

This reminded me of a quote from an interview on, I believe it was the Turf Today podcast with a superintendent at a Pete Dye golf course, which we'll get to.

But the superintendent, Keith Christina said, essentially the reason that a bunch of younger people, younger superintendents call me and ask for advice is that I've killed more grass than they have.

Like, you know, I've figured out almost as many ways as possible to mess things up.

And then I've not made that mistake again.

And yeah, Pete kind of lived by that as well.

Which after a while of wondering about where that came from, like

He's speculating that maybe that was an Alice-ism, an Alice-di-ism rather than a Pete-di-ism.

It got confirmed when I interviewed Abe Wilson, who I mentioned a little bit earlier, who worked on a number of Pete's crews over the years shaping for him, that he was playing golf with them one day and he was standing behind Alice when she was hitting a tee shot.

And I've got the quote written down somewhere, but Alice turned around and said to him, don't stand behind me when I hit.

I don't want you looking at my butt while I'm hitting a golf ball.

And it was like, Oh yes, of course.

He's kind of a walking dad joke in a lot of respects.

Like he had a number of dogs over the years, Neil, and every dog was named 60.

Someone told me that one of his dogs was named 57, but everyone else that I talked to said all of his dogs that they ever met were named 60.

And the reason was the first dog he ever got

Dog cost $20.

And Pete was about to leave and said, actually, I need a collar as well.
