DONALD Steel has been elected as the new Chairman for The GTC. A Past President of the English Golf Union, member of The R&A for 47 years and a world renowned Golf Course Architect, Donald has had the most varied life in golf. “Golf has brought me into direct contact with hundreds of greenkeepers, a state of affairs for which I have profited greatly,” said Donald. He was the Golf Correspondent for the Sunday Telegraph from 1961-90, President of the British Association of Golf Course Architects from 1986-1989 and President of the Association of Golf Writers from 1993-98. He also worked as a golf
course architect from 1965 - 1987 with Cotton (CK), Pennick, Lawrie, Steel and Partners before forming

Donald Steel and Co (1985 - 2005).
Still active as an Architect Donald has worked on over one hundred new courses and advised over six hundred clubs. As a golfer Donald has
played to a consistent high standard over many years and qualified to compete in the Open Championship. Donald adds, “every golfer in
the world stands to benefit from greenkeeper training and that makes it the game’s most worthy cause.”
“It’s a lot like arthroscopic surgery, the machine makes a small hole on top but a larger one underneath to work within. The churning motion of the knife within the subsurface pocket shatters the soil profile to extend the effect beyond the immediate area. The only visible result on the green surface are rows of small incisions that look like stitches from a sewing machine.”
