Whomever is chosen, and whatever the concept, as an unabashed Keiser project enthusiast I am excited to learn of the upcoming designee and I have absolute conviction that the final product will, yet again, prove an artistic and commercial success. But my personal preference, based on my limited awareness and experience, would be to see Mike DeVries win the contract. Obviously another Tom Doak design would, prima facie, be wholly warranted and unsurprising; it seems Tara Iti has further solidified Mr. Doak’s stature as one of the very best architects of the past 80 years. I just personally believe that it would be healthy and exciting to add a ‘new’ name to the Keiser masthead, and — like so many of us — I find Kingsley Club to be great, great fun and it appears that Cape Wickham is superior as well. Having spent his formative years at Crystal Downs, Mr. DeVries has MacKenzie’s ‘13 Principles’ and Perry Maxwell’s putting green genius embedded in his DNA. In my ideal scenario, a DeVries SV4 design, perhaps of more modest scale and greater intimacy, would be the perfect compliment to SV1-SV3. Then I would like to see a Doak design for SV5.
