Perry Maxwell
Perry Duke Maxwell (June 13, 1879 – November 15, 1952) was an American golf course architect. He was a founding member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects and was an inductee into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. He was known as the "father of Oklahoma golf".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Perry Maxwell )〕
==Early life==
Perry Duke Maxwell was born on June 13, 1879 in Princeton, Kentucky, to parents of Scottish descent. He moved to Ardmore, Oklahoma, in 1897 after two forays at college where he studied classical literature. In 1902 he found the love of his life, Ray Woods, and they married that same year. Poor health temporarily curtailed his collegiate studies but he finally graduated and settled into a banking job as vice president of the Ardmore National Bank where he would remain into his mid-30s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maxwell, Perry Duke (1879-1952) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clouser, Chris. Perry Maxwell: The Master of the Plains )〕
In 1913, on land he owned that was the site of a former dairy farm, Maxwell built the first nine holes of Dornick Hills Golf & Country Club in Ardmore. The remaining nine holes would not be completed until 1923. Maxwell—along with other fine golf course architects of this period such as Herbert Strong and Donald Ross—was not formally trained in golf course architecture. Most golf course architects who worked in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries were immigrants from Scotland and England whose sole qualifications were their knowledge of golf and ability to play the game.
