Abstract:
The golf course at the Raleigh Country Club was the last course designed by the legendary Donald Ross and was the one he was working on at the time of his death in 1948. In August 2003, John McConnell, a local entrepreneur, rescued the bankrupt club from a local group of developers who had begun planning development other than golf. He bought out the developers and brought in architect Richard Mandel who specializes in Ross restorations. McConnell says the course will be one that tests golfers every day, and not one that offers cooking classes, wine tastings, and dinner dances.

Abstract:
When it came to covering construction costs, this Charlotte based firm proved that satisfying customers, rather than sating professional ego, was foremost on their minds. As for satisfaction not alluded to in the title, that extends to the employees, particularly those of the Gen X set. Because of this, Little and Associates amply proved their bottom line was professional and personal fulfillment, not company profit.
