I didn't want to hijack the normal architecture thread with the responses to this, so I am starting a new thread.
Let's test how well you know some of the most well-known golf course architects! Can you name all 14? I will post the results eventually, but let's get some guesses in here. If you don't know, leave it blank. Don't cheat and don't look at other people's answers until you've answered it for yourself. I know that you can hit the red Reply button in the top right so you don't scroll past other answers.
