Mark,

Don't know anything about the course... but I do know that Mike DeVries has been hired to devise a long-range plan for Sunningdale.

Raynor did a lot at Sunningdale (well hidden now)

If a player insists on playing his maximum power on his tee-shot, it is not the architect's intention to allow him an overly wide target to hit to but rather should be allowed this privilege of maximum power except under conditions of exceptional skill.

Anyone seen Mike Moss?

He can sort out the Raynor & Macd, Travis, Tillie and S Kay to date and future plans better than anyone alive.

Mark,

Jeff is correct.  I have been retained to devise a long range plan for the club.  

Geneology is thus:
Originally designed by Raynor, completed about 1916.
Walter Travis was brought in around 1920-21 and he modified (softened) quite a bit of the feautres.
Robert White tinkered in the mid-to-late 20's, but not sure what he did.
Tillinghast added the par 3 12th and probably did a little tweaking here and there.
Stephen Kay did some work for the club in the 90's.
Mike Moss is the historian at the club and can correct me if I messed up a date.

Analysis of the course is going on right now and I will be meeting with the club in April, so I don't want to say this or that is going to happen for sure.

Cheers,

Mike
