Designer of the Year (select up to 3)

[Deleted]

Write in vote for pyates  and tastegw. Going strictly by resumes I'm not sure how these 2 were left off.

[dh-nufc]

Yates for me plus two on the list.

[welikeitroughnc]

Yates takes my first vote Artic Fury second and Griff gets my third vote

[hershalcrustofsk]

pyates, tastegw, arcticfury .  It seems Mr.  Yates may have to get added to this list, and then possibly run away with this thing.

[pyates]

Can't say I'm not loving the response on here, honoured to have so many folk I respect a lot drop my name against this title. But you look down that list and as if I didn't already know it, wow we have some awesome talent. And I'm certainly not the only name missing from that list.

Cheers for the comments

Not sure who will get my vote yet... Need to have a think on that one

[ErixonStone]

Ok. This poll is bothering me and I cannot remain silent any longer.

Every designer's forum tag is listed first followed by his tour name in parentheses, except csugolfer.

[feng187]

Pyates for me also, quite shocked he's not on the list.

[nantez88]

What about boom boom?? ;-) but seriously pyates for me and Tye Dunes for course of the year

[karma4u]

Just for fun.

I don't know the criteria for the nominations, but I guess it is based on what actually got played on tour this year?
That was obviously the criteria for course of the year so I'll go by that assumption. I've bunched up courses that has been played on different tours with different versions. I've strictly gone from the database listed courses under these names and that has been marked as a tour stop in 2016. I did guess in Yeltzmans case as stated below. I'm not huge on RCR's so I'm not overly familiar with what he has done and what he hasn't. 

Courses created during season 1 has been marked red (sorry tapatalk users). This includes remakes. This mark can be a bit tricky, but I'll do my best. I just want to point out that the number of courses on tour does not equal the best designer in my book, nor does the number of remakes. Just though it would be fun to show what has actually been on tour from these fantastic designers over the season.

Cheers for that list, very interesting.... just one question, where is that Ola Ericsson fella?  Should add him to this list, I think he had quite a few played this year

Some of those were a little surprising but really on reflection shouldn't have been.  Reeb was a surprise... just the once!  That doesn't sound right.

I'm not up there for a reason and that is the quality of my courses. I think I dish out some decent stuff, but there are many others who are better than me this season.

Henrik Sundqvist
Wayne Adams
Steven Lilco
Seth Campion
Nick Weisberger
Jeremy Blaylock
Dean Lowdon
Keith Callahan
Martyn Shaw
Steve Pope
Phil Harris

And many others. These were just from the top of my head.

You sell yourself short... you should be on that list .  You've made some great courses

[reebdoog]

yeah...I had a lot more than one used going back to season one including major, presidents cup and all that jazz...
