I’m waiting for Paul Rudovsky to tell us the best golf architect who attended MIT.
Paul will have to determine whether two schools can claim credit for the same guy.
Regarding your first line above...it was another one of those freshmen interlopers And do not try to denigrate MIT's involvement in golf as I would cite the following:
--The founder of Titleist his close fiend who came up with the idea to X-ray all golf balls at the end of the production line as part of quality control were both MIT alums
--USGA President's who were MIT alums: William Fownes 1926-27, Will Nicholson Jr 1980-81
--USGA National Champions who were MIT alums: William Fownes, US Amateur 1910; Kim Dinh, Women's Mid-Amateur, 2023
