Ross spent 15 years in manufacturing, seven as a manager. He started as a certified welder and went on to program and repair robots, design shop tools, and lead teams responsible for what came off the manufacturing floor.
Outside the shop, he painted, welded metal sculptures, built practical effects and props, and made motion graphics. When a production run ended and he was laid off, he decided to build his own designs.
A course that plays differently
Watching his five-year-old sink a hole-in-one and playing 18 holes with the grandparents gave Ross a feeling he wanted to capture. He had a sketchbook full of ideas for layouts with drops, narrow bridges, springboards, and gates that could change the shot.
At his small shop in Bellingham, Ross welds each club, cuts the course sections, and tests the obstacles. The Tabletop System gives players the parts to build their own lines and the chance to come up with a better shot on the next round.
