Dedham Polo & Country Club
« on: December 17, 2003, 02:11:31 PM »
First of all I want to offer Congratulations to Michael Stachowicz on his new position as Super at this venerable old Boston area club.  Mike is a GCA person and should be just what the doctor ordered for a club that wants to improve conditions...  Secondly, it appears that Dedham may have discovered some documentation to indicate that Raynor might have had a hand in the design at the club.  It's interesting that even in this day and age of architecture savvy clubs and players that something as big as Raynor's involvement may have gone unnoticed.  They were under the impression that Findlay had done the work and had Craig Shriner in in the late 90's to do a bunker renovation but the Raynor news would seem to indicate they may want to revisit the whole renovation/restoration thing again.  Boston has some outstanding golf already and tremendous heritage and it appears the rich may indeed be getting richer.

Was Raynor's involvement ever in dispute? A biarritz and a redan on the same course is usually per se evidence of CBM/SR/CB. It's like trying to hide an elephant under a handkerchief.

I don't think they ever questioned the fact that they thought they had a Findlay design.  When Shriner was there the topic  of Raynor's influence never came up either.  As a member of ASGCA you'd think Shriner would've been curious about a biarritz...
