Dan and Co.:
I can definitely see vestiges of L/M's design approaches on the Ridge aerial, esp. the liner/angled fairway bunkering on the two long holes on the left side of the aerial, the near-wraparound bunkers on the two greens in the upper left, and the neat linear mound/ridge about 75-100 yards from the green on the dogleg in the bottom center. Granted, the circular bunkers, esp. the ones that surround the one green, look out of place on a L/M designed course.
Dan, I've been wondering this about some of these L/M aerials re. the bunkering and Jeff's point. I wonder if we think of L/M architecture from the perspective of their most -- for lack of a better word -- stylized (and publicized) courses: remnants of Skokie, Wakonda, the original Harrison Hills, and esp. Lawsonia. Perhaps L/M's style continually evolved and emerged, and they adopted the much more linear/engineered/stylized look later in their career. It would be interesting to find out exactly when Ridge was designed; Lawsonia opened in 1930, if I remember correctly.
