Name the Golf Architect
« on: May 26, 2004, 07:18:59 PM »
What golf architect's future wife was locked in a cage as a young woman by her father? She evidently was engaged to marry her cousin (on both sides no less)....her old man was not keen on the intermarriage idea and fearing her hormones might get the best of her & she'd run off, incarcerated her for a month in  a home-made cage, with a diet of bread and water. The engagement was broken off...freeing her up to marry this golf architect.

Jeff Brauer--If ever there was a golf architect that should have been locked-up in a cage, it was him.

Oh wait! Your saying that it was his future wife that was locked in a cage...... Well then I take it back. (My answer) Although I still think Jeff Brauer belongs in a cage.  Locked tight!

Certainly not Brauer or Stettner. I'll give you hint...this architect spent some time in the British Isles, although most of his design work was in America.

Well, Tommy, I know you're joking, but after the grand opening crowd in Lake Jackson, TX, yesterday saw my four foot deep Biaritz swale in the 16th green, they considered caging me, but opted for tranquilzer darts instead......

 ;D

When are you going to clue us in Tom MacWood?

Robert nailed it. Devereux Emmet

His wife the former, Ella Smith, was caged by her father Judge John Lawrence Smith--a prominent NYC lawyer and judge. Ella's sister Bessie married Stanford White, the Wilt Chamberlain of his day. Not sure if she was ever caged. The Emmets and the Whites lived next door to each other on the Smith Estate.
