Fowler definitive list
« on: April 03, 2009, 04:54:50 PM »
I'm writing the Delamere Forest centenary book (2010). They have oooooodles of archive material about the club, but I can see a conflict of information about which courses Fowler may have worked on, which are solely his, which were Simpson's and so on. Is there an authoritative list of who did what?

Congrats and please add me to the list of buyers!

Assume you've looked at TAOG (Whitten)?

Mark,

I have tried to upload a 1946 Simpson & Co. catalogue, but resolution is too poor to see anything. I have sent you an email (which of course I can make extensive to anyone else who is interested). I believe it will help.

BTW, in Spain, Fowler only worked in Lasarte, in San Sebastian (1919).

Regards,

It's murky even at Delamere. It seems that Fowler worked there twice, making alterations to his own original, but was it his original? It seems that the very first holes may have been by one Willy Clegg. No less than the autocratic Tony Legard, secretary for cebturies, attributes Clegg. But there's a lot of research still to be done.

The Ambassador Hotel course, now known as Rancho Park. Bell came in later and made changes. Both courses at LACC. Old Del Monte, but he redid what was there already.
