Golf Architects in the Hall of Fame
« on: December 12, 2012, 11:09:44 PM »
Are there really only 5 who were predominantly architects enshrined? Mackenzie, RTJ, Dye, Ross, and MacDonald(and he won an Amateur) are the only ones I saw when I was just on the site. Did I miss someone? I know Raynor and Tillinghast are not in, and I think should be. Who else would be a member if GCA did the voting?

In my mind it should have been the three M's along time ago.  Two so far waiting for the third.

Tillinghast is perhaps the most glaring omission in the entire Hall when you consider what he did for golf in its formative stages in America.

I agree about Tillinghast. I did omit Maxwell in my post which is strange because it was him I was looking for in the first place. I think Raynor, Thompson, and Colt all have good cases to be made for them. George Thomas?
