In a 2000 GCA interview Ran asked Tim Liddy this question: Who are your three favorite architects of all time and why.
Tim's answer:
a) Pete Dye- a great mentor, great concepts, great thought process. I owe everything in this profession to him.
b) Donald Ross- had a great knowledge of the game, great routings, shot balance, variety, wonderful lessons on working with the natural topography
c) Seth Raynor- attention to detail, juxtaposition of architecture against nature, great variety of green complexes.
