Briefly, what struck me was Tom's talking about his personal involvement with the layout -- centerlines as I took it. He did the first four or five holes, which set the pattern for his assistants to come in and work from that template to flesh out the remaining holes. The parallel that comes to my mind is the art-craft-design "tricotomy" (just made that word up, I think) in the world of fine arts and crafts (painting, sculpture, crafts, design). In the latter world there's a lot of parsing about the differences, and what they mean. To my way of thinking, what's important is the end product, no matter how one gets to it. Does this "argument" translate into the golf architecture world? In other words, looking at it from the art world propective, is a golf architect an artist, a craftsman, a designer, or some combination, or is this an interesting question?
