Golf Architects in the Hall of Fame

[Nigel Islam]

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?

  Perry Maxwell

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

[Sven Nilsen]

I believe Willie Park is being inducted next year.

[Jeb Bearer]

Surely Old Tom is in there?

[Ally Mcintosh]

Yeah but Willie Park & Old Tom have 6 opens between them.... Where's Colt?

[Craig Van Egmond]

  Perry Maxwell

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

[Josh Tarble]

How about Stanley Thompson? 

[Jeff_Mingay]

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.

[Nigel Islam]

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?

An Architect with very high quality work for the number of courses worked on.
