With Tilly, architects that are in HOF are CBM, Mackenzie, RTJ Sr., Donald Ross and Pete Dye.

Who's next?

Colt who also should have been in long, long ago, followed by Raynor, Alison, Flynn, Maxwell and many, many others...

I guess you mean pure architects? Old Tom is in, as is Willie Park, Jr.

Did Brandel Chamblee speak and accept the award on behalf of Old Tom?

If they depend on a committee comprised of Gary Player and Annika Sorenstam, it might be a while before some of those guys get in.  Maxwell especially ... Mr. Player does not like severe greens  :)

I suppose that for now acknowledging Tilly as a Hall of Famer should be enough for those of us interested in golf architecture.

However as this is supposed to be the World Golf Hall of Fame, how can one not include Harry S. Colt?
It must be kept in mind that the elusive charm of the game suffers as soon as any successful method of standardization is allowed to creep in.  A golf course should never pretend to be, nor is intended to be, an infallible tribunal.

Agreed on both.

I assume Tilly will be drinking at the Scores Hotel while he's in town?

Tilly and Ken Schofield in the same HOF?  The horror of it all........

Who's next?

And who among today's crop are good candidates for the future?  Coore (can Crenshaw make it twice, as player and archie?)... and Doak should be shoo-ins.
