Ten years ago (2/24/2015), Pete Dye was awarded the prestigious Rossi Award, an award given by the Golf Course Builders Association of America (GCBAA) to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the game of golf, its growth, and who have inspired others by example.

It is named for Don A. Rossi, who served as executive director of the National Golf Foundation from 1970 to 1983, and was instrumental in forming the National Golf Course Owners Association and served as executive director of the GCBAA from 1984 to 1990.
