"TEPaul,
You can't ignore the issue of redundancy.
How many Principal's Nose features can you insert on a golf course ?"
Well, then Pat, when you're out in Southampton why don't you ask Macdonald why he built one on The Creek's #15 and then later recommended another one on The Creek?
Actually, I probably shouldn't admit this on a family website like GOLFCLUBATLAS.com but he didn't recommend another Principles Nose bunker on #5, he recommended another one on #3. What he recommended on #5 was what he called a "Mrs Grundy's LEFT TIT" bunker right in the area I've mentioned but I didn't want to mention that on here but you've forced me to.
I suspect at that time of C.B.'s life he was getting really rammy and weird and had probably had enough of those beautiful show girls he kept stashed in his "Hen House" on his estate in Southampton and he'd decided to get into something more kinky like Mrs Grundy's left tit and somehow it slipped out in his bunker recommendations to The Creek.
Do you wonder why he began to run afoul of Herbert Dean and the Board of The Creek?
Not much later than that C.B tried to put a move on Marion Hollins when he was helping her with the Womens National G.C. that eventually merged with the Creek. Apparently Marion who was a lot bigger than C.B. cold cocked him and told him she wasn't that kind of girl at all----if you get my drift.
As you may know that gay blade Devie Emmett (The Cat in the Hat) who was the nominal architect of Women's National was observing all this stuff between Macdonald and Hollins and he proclaimed that all this was giving him some great architectural ideas. I believe Devie tried to pinch C.B.'s ass but luckily, as it is told, C.B didn't notice and didn't feel it.
I've also uncovered some reliable info that Marion hired Devie to do the Womens National because she felt that Devie had some real sensibilities of a women golfer and perhaps she was entertaining the idea of making him her wife thinking a person who looked like him couldn't possibily actually be a man.
