Have the changes been opposite of his vision?
Please Discuss
Also not to beet a dead horse, but how is it different than the 1911 version?
How will it be different for the Walker Cup than it is today?
Thanks
I agree with Bill and Tom that he would be most dismayed with what the technology has done to the strategic fundamentals of the course, but hopefully he'd just write them off and leave things the same.
While not directly about NGLA, he might view much of what went on with golf design in this century as a regression somewhat similar to the dark ages, but he might see hope in some of the courses of the last 20 years.
I think he would be pleased that the strategic fundamentals of the course remained intact in the golf holes. I don't know if he would get too caught up in the difference of appearance of some of the bunkers. He was much more about substance than aesthetics. That being said, he did write quite a bit about emulating nature and making the hazards appear as natural as possible, so perhaps he might not be thrilled with the change in the look.

I hope that there are detailed statistics available from the 1922 Walker Cup. It would be interesting to compare.
