What architect have you played most?

[Sean_A]

By a country mile; Colt and Ross.  I would be content playing only courses by these guys for the remainder of my days.

I've no idea of numbers but I would be very surprised if it wasn't James Braid by some margin. Certainly if the question was courses that have had retrospective bunkering schemes done and who did the bunkering it would most definitely be Braid. With a lot of these old courses, which is mostly what I've played, its very hard to decide who gets primary credit for the course as it is now.

My top 3:

Stanley Thompson - 13
Rene Muylaert - 12
Robbie Robinson  - 7

Ian Andrew, who would you consider the architect at The Cutten Club, Chick Evans or Thompson?  If it's Thompson I move off of un-lucky 13.

Donald Ross...I'm up to roughly 75-80 that he was involved in.

I'm still missing several Ross courses within a few hours of me in Boston...Oyster Harbors/Hyannisport/Worcester CC, most of the RI Ross courses save for Triggs and Misquamicut, and I've never played a Ross course in Connecticut.

I've taken care of Northern New England though...Augusta CC in Maine is the last one I haven't been to.

Brad-All three of them in Connecticut CC of Waterbury, Wampanoag and Shenecossett are very worthy.

Apparently I was kidding..I've played Shennecossett.  The DRS listing shows Hartford GC and Greenwich CC in addition to the three above.

Like Carl Nichols, I think Geoffrey Cornish is probably my #1.  I have no idea who my #2 would be; I'll have to assemble that list someday.
