  • A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS the AMERICAN WEST GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT WILLIAM WATSON 1860-1941 by Dean Knuth
    A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS THE AMERICAN WEST GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT WILLIAM WATSON 1860-1941 By Dean Knuth William Watson Circa 1920 at age 60 William Watson was an important pioneer of early golf course architecture who is all but forgotten. You know the names of Donald Ross, Alister Mackenzie and A.W. Tillinghast. You may not know William Watson, a man whom history has passed over, but you should. William Watson had a successful career and designed more than 100 golf courses before his retirement in 1929, when the Great Depression began. Many of his courses have survived for nearly a century, including his first U.S. design, the Minikahda Club in Minnesota. That is where he also landed his first job as head professional. Watson immigrated from Fife, Scotland, near St. Andrews to America in 1898. He was a prolific designer and a success in California. A number of his other best-known designs have hosted major USGA and PGA National Championships, including Harding Park, San Diego Country Club, the original Brentwood Country Club, Diablo Country Club, Berkeley Country Club and Orinda Country Club. He designed the original The Olympic Club Lake and Ocean courses plus many others which unfortunately did not survive housing developments on land that became more valuable as America grew. His primary design goal was to maintain naturalness. Watson wrote:, “A good rule is to stress the importance of fitting in all grading work to harmonize with the surrounding territory, mounds, slopes, grassy hollows, sand pits, all have their values in beautifying the setting of our greens and in giving them distinctive definition — if artificially arranged without appearance of artificiality.” He also believed that a course is more interesting if every green has a character all its own, giving the player something besides the flag to view in approaching the hole.

Because everyone was used to horse drawn (Ford Motor Company of Canada Archives) wagons, the new contraption became called “the horse- less carriage.” Part Three 1901 - 1950 he first gasoline-powered automobiles were invented by Americans Charles and Frank Duryea in 1893. They started Tmanufacturing at their Duryea Motor Wagon Company factory in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1896, Frank Duryea traveled with the Barnum & Bailey Circus and drove his car around the ring. Henry Ford began to manufacture cars in Detroit, Michigan, in 1903, and others followed. The Ford Motor Company was worth $100,000 U.S. in 1903 and by 1927 had escalated to $700 million. The first Model T advertisement appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1908 with a price tag of $280. The mass production in the first decade by Henry Ford brought about a tremendous change in transportation. The day of the horse drawn wagons and carriages would become passe. The automobile was here to stay. The right to manufacture cars in Ontario was acquired in 1904 by 31 year old Gordon Morton McGregor, the president of the Walkerville Wagon Company in Walkerville (Windsor).
