TEPaul,
I'll describe for you why I feel that there are prudent reasons to restore the hump in # 18 green.
First, we know that Crump conceived, designed and built that green with a hump in it. Agreed ?
Second, we know that during his life he never altered that feature, despite having the opportunity to do so. Agreed ?
Third, we only know that third parties allege his intentions to remove the hump and replace it with a roll in casual coversation with him. Agreed ?
Fourth, Crump never evidenced, by putting pen to paper, his desire to remove the hump and install a roll. Agreed ?
Fifth, the current green is ...... ordinary, without unique, redeeming qualities. Agreed ?
Viewing those five issues, individually, and more importantly, collectively, I don't think it's imprudent to suggest a restoration of that green to Crump's original design, or at the very least, to the roll he allegedly intended. Agreed ?
I'm not so sure that John Arthur Brown managed Pine Valley by consensus.
I'm also not aware of his architectural acuity.
And, I see an apparent conflict, a conundrum, or enigma in your understanding and presentation of PV as being omniscient, in all matters, including architecture, and the knowledge of what Crump designed and what his intentions were, when they didn't even know that he commited suicide.
You're not going to claim that JAB was an idiot-savant, are you ?
On a serious note, I think there's a body of evidence and reason that would lead one to conclude that either the hump be restored or that the roll be created as Crump allegedly intended.
