"Trevor published a similar article for Golf Illustrated. It highlights what was going on in golf architecture, and golf, at the time. American golfers were dominating the competitions, and there was general belief in Britain (and elsewhere) that our more testing, more severe architecture was producing better golfers. I wrote an essay about this American-British debate as a counterpoint to Bob Cosby's Behr essay, but unfortunately it never saw the light of day. That was the last essay I wrote."
Tom MacWood:
I remember that well, as it was discussed on a number of threads on here back then, and I was on them. And I remember you trying to counterpoint Bob Crosby's essay that most certainly mentioned Max Behr and his writing prominently. However, Crosby's essay was not about Behr, it was about Joshua Crane and particularly the debate primarily Max Behr and Alister Mackenzie had with him back then about various things Crane had been proposing in print and otherwise, and a number of fascinating things Behr and Mackenzie proposed to counterpoint or counteract what Crane was proposing.
And I remember you saying you wrote an essay counterpointing Crosby's essay and that Morrissett did not accept it as he apparently didn't think it particularly appropriate for various reasons.
I suppose one good reason he didn't think it appropriate is that judging from those threads that lead to you attempting to write that essay that was never accepted, you were basically trying to discuss something and counterpoint something that Crosby basically didn't even write about even though you kept claiming he had.
