One of the guys who I spoke with, George Fry down on Kiowa, he said, you guys better make this podcast soon because everybody who knew Pete and Alice, we're going to the same place that they went.
Yeah, we can call cut, I think.
I don't know that I would use the word novice to describe that.
That hit a lot of the juicy stuff right out of the gate.
So we might need to call in some new students.
to neil's point pete was a provocateur you know someone asked me when i was hanging with bobby weed and his family down in florida for this episode uh bobby's son-in-law to be asked me what's your lead man uh and i said he pete knew how to push your buttons he knew how to freak you out neil he knew how to lure your eyes to all the wrong places mess with you so you mean this from a golf standpoint or just like individually like with humans
From a golf standpoint, there's a lot of fun stuff about him as a human.
He knew how to throw a barb.
He had what was described to me as like a proper Midwestern wit.
We'll get into some stories there.
So he was like a true chops buster and a storyteller, but provocateur in the design sense.
He loved to get you thinking about the wrong things and pull your eyes into the wrong places.
His whole ethos was, let's figure it out in the dirt.
This is not the guy you called if you wanted a set of plans in advance.
Full stop, really.
He was famous for throwing out any plans that he did draw.
He self-proclaimed didn't know how to draw.
His preferred method of drawing was literally sculpting mounds of dirt and sand, little scale models when he was out on site.
You go down here and build me a bathtub there or build me a waste bunker that's about this size and let's physically drag my muddy boots in the dirt to illustrate what I'm talking about.
And a lot of the guys who worked for him have adopted that sort of ethos, even if some of them draw more plans than Pete did.
