Johnny Miller & Fred Bliss
There are three distinct phases in the career of Johnny Miller. First as a brilliant young professional golfer in the mid 70's, winning both the US and British Opens. Then as a more mature player in the 80's and early 90's, closing his PGA TOUR career with a magical victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach National ProAm in '94. And finally Johnny Miller the TV golf commentator, columnist and author whose insights into the game have consistently earned him rave reviews, including two Emmy nominations. Since he began playing the game as a child in San Francisco, Miller has worked to convert a creative interest in golf course design into the realization of a firm devoted to that effort. Johnny Miller Design was founded in 1984 and features an outstanding business and design team responsible for the creation of JMD courses around the world for the enjoyment of legions of golfers. Elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame, Johnny Miller's career has always been centered around the game of golf. He has a great desire to make even more significant contributions to golf with a legacy in the design of courses throughout the world. Fred Bliss A native of the Midwest, Fred Bliss earned his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture Degree at Kansas State University in 1969. Over the next several years, he served in a number of landscape architecture and planning capacities before joining the GolfPlan-Ronald Fream Design Group in 1979. He later became Vice-President and Director of Design. In 1989, Bliss formed his own golf course design company, (Bliss Golf Design). Since 1990, he has been associated with Johnny Miller Design, first as a design associate and now as the Director of Golf Course Design Services for JMD. Thoroughly versed in the technical aspects of the design, development and construction of golf courses, Bliss takes a decidedly "hands-on" approach. The collective impact of his training as a graduate landscape architect; his practical experience; public acknowledgment of his professionalism as a Member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects; and his deep midwestern values - all underscore his key value to Johnny Miller Design and its continued success.
