Quotable quotes | "Tillinghast had written in one of his many writings for Golf Illustrated that you had to have elasticity in your designs, because as the implements in the game improve...So we took Tilinghast's elasticity and because he left us areas [on the Black Course at Bethpage] to build new tees back, so we pushed the fairways bunkers out and utilized the sculptured look, although it was a bold sculptured look...I think he had so much foresight with his designs and it was such a great piece of ground at Bethpage that we were able to bring it up to today's standards, because he left us that opportunity." p. 1:23 |
