Great architectural partnerships - revamped
« on: September 22, 1999, 08:00:00 PM »
The Australian beer is kicking in to end up with this thought process.There have been some great partnerships in the past century: Thomas/Bell, Macdonald/Raynor, Colt/MacKenzie, Coore/Crenshaw, Weiskopf/Morrish, George and Tom Fazio (KIDDING!) etc.If you could mix and match from different generations, what would be the perhaps the most intriguing partnership? Who would compliment each other well?For a specific example, Old Tom (and others) could have used some help with the greens at County Down and I reckon Doak & Co. would bring the necessary spicy ingredients - a few more juicy greens and that place would be tops in my book.Other partnerships? Would any combo be better than what has already been? Does anybody care? Where is my beer?

Flynn and WilsonThey'd both be so hungover can you imagine the wild stuff they would create-it would go right to the top of Geoff's list!

I forgot, Crenshaw, Robinson & Muirhead:You might think it's an upscale law firm, but it's golf architectures' version of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

The name of their firm would be "Old Tom Doak".

I wish MacKenzie had teamed with Stanley Thompson. Why? Because Thompson got as many of the great sites in the world as any single architect in history. MacKenzie would have had a ball.

Lets not forget that team of Robert Muir Graves and Damian Pascuzzo.They are to be credited with creating some of the worst golf courses in the game and are the epitome of your proto-typical ASGCA designer.  Everything has a sort of building code with these guys.  Each course looks the same with some of the most hideous routings known to man. Just follow the curbed cart paths and see for yourself.Of course this stuff looks awesome compared to the work of another team, Ted Robinson Sr. and Ted Robinson Jr.

Alice Dye should team with every known architect - she is the only person to ever get the length of the ladies' course correct.

I love these old posts, some are far better than the new posts.

I lot has changed in 5 years regarding this subject,

Doak - Nicklaus
Hanse - Shackelford
Fazio-Wynn (again)

Any others?

Remember when the worlds best doubles team was John McEnroe and anybody?I wonder if ,hypothetically,the pairing of greats would stiffle the product.
