Who is this architect, where is he in the photo, and discuss his work

[Jay Flemma]

We were graciously allowed to play Sawgrass with our now famed architect and at that time professor, Brian.

Ahhh...I see.  The way you wrote that sentence it wasn't clear that the "now famed architect" and your professor were the same person.

Brian is 5'7"...I've played with him too, and we're the same height.  He hits the ball remarkably straight.

Ron,

Brian Silva aside (!), your photos provide a great illustration of the "original", scruffier Sawgrass. Do you have anymore, of the course, to share? I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,

I hope that there will soon come a day when I will find out a man's last name is Shitter and laugh to myself for several minutes.

I am fairly certain the second photo in this thread is of #16- the elevated bunker to the right along with the drainage area short of the fairway gives it away. Remarkable how much has changed over such a relatively short time period.
