| Quotable quotes | "I remember when Mr. Macdonald came over here from America he brought a surveyor with him, and he intended to take elaborate measurements of some of the holes which are generally reckoned to the the best in the British Islands. He came to Walton Heath, and we had a long talk together. He explained to me all he intended to do, and asked my opinion on his scheme. I ventured to tell him I thought he was entirely on the wrong tack, and that what he should do was to study our best holes and see why they were so good, and then go back to America and try to incorporate those ideas in courses on the other side. However, he was set on his plan, and went back with all his plans and drawings. The result was a good course laid out at Southampton, Long Island, but no one could possibly recognise the holes as being copies to scale of the ones from this side." p. 146-147 |
