I think we did a Golfweek cover story of it in Oct. 2006 in anticipation of it cracking the top-100 Classic as a result of Tripp Davis' restoration work, and Engineers indeed came through in March 2007 at No. 83.
Gil Hanse had done some consulting there in the mid-1990s but little of that plan was implemented, though it certainly cleared a path and sparked internal discussion so that Engineers' managers, staff and membership could eventually proceed. A lot of that early groundwork was also done by the late Marty Kantor, DDS, a wonderful, rabble rouser who got the ball rolling along with long-term superintendent Donnie Szymkowicz, CGCS and general manager Tucker Burns (who started there as a bus boy 25 years ago and worked his way to the top).
