Sorry, Rodman Griscom was not on the MCC Search Committee For Golf Grounds. Rodman Griscom was the MCC member who got Macdonald and Whigam to come to Ardmore in 1910 to meet with the MCC Search Committee. Griscom was on the Wilson committee that designed and constructed Merion East and West. Nine holes of MCC's original course in Haverford was on Clement Griscom's estate, Dolobran. Clement Griscom was Rodman Griscom's father. Interestingly, Rodman Griscom became the first president of Merion G.C. when the MCC Golf Association finally split off from MCC in 1942. The vote was taken in a meeting on Dec. 7, 1941 (a date that will live in infamy). Apparently, when the committee emerged from their meeting they were informed of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
