The Term "Golf Architect"
« on: November 05, 2006, 05:17:47 PM »
On the start page of Golf Club Atlas it is stated that:

Quote
men like Charles Blair Macdonald brought it to America, where he coined the term 'golf architect' around 1910

Does anyone have a reference where and when CBM coined that term?

Now, Lord knows I love a factual inaccuracy on the internet as much as the next man, but Cowley-sama this time you have gone too far.

South Hampton - no!
Southampton - yes!

But rather more heinously, Queen Mary not even built until 1930/31. Clydebank, Scotland, incidentally....

...and before Mucci asks, do you have conclusive, incontravertible proof that CBM 'enjoyed' a stogie?

Soooo..... if no one can provide any evidence, citation or otherwise, this shouldn't be on the start page of the site :)

Ulrich if it's crucial you know then IM George Bahto he'll point you in the right direction. Helpful guy.

Corninsh repaeats this 'fact' in his introdcuetion to Golf Archtecture Some Essays but doesn't say where he first used it.
