And which architect wrote this?
« on: November 02, 2006, 02:30:42 PM »
I've used certain strategies or shots on a hole and forgotten all about them, and five years later I'll play a course that's new to me and see that, given a similar setting and objective, I used the same solution.  And I can still play the old links courses of Scotland and find something I hadn't seen before.  Sometimes I'll even notice a concept that I thought I originated, only to realize that it had been done more than a century ago.

I heard Jay Morrish say that once.

He may have said it, but I don't have a copy of his book (if he's written one).  This is someone else.

Mark:

Interesting.  I bet Jay Morrish said it first and Jack borrowed it for himself.  When I worked for Mr. Dye years ago, I noticed Jack borrowing lines from Pete.

Whoo Hooo! I might be the winner!

I think every gca has had the same sensation.

Actually, the idea that there is nothing new in golf architecture goes back to at least CB McDonald.  Some of the other classic books have similar quotes.
