  • 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.

    22 Vol. 11, No.2 Development of Local Green Sections This number of the Bulletin contains reports of the activities of 30 organizations interested primarily in golf course turf. The Green Section is not directly responsible for the formation nor the manage- ment of any of the organizations listed in this number, but it has from their start cooperated in one way or another with most of them. Some of these organizations are confined to members of green com- mittees and some to greenkeepers, while others are organized on a broader basis to admit to membership all individuals who are inter- ested in growing turf. The large number of these organizations is significant in indicating the growing interest in turf problems. All of these organizations have been formed since the establishment of the Green Section of the United States Golf Association in 1920. It is interesting to note that the first local green section was started in Philadelphia in 1921. The first organization of greenkeepers was the Greenkeepers' Club of New England, which held its first meeting in 1924. The purpose in presenting all these reports in one number of the Bulletin is to call attention to the large number of organizations that are interested in turf culture throughout the country. The reports show that some of these organizations have extensive programs for the year, while others are relatively inactive. A review of the many programs given in the following reports should furnish program com- mittees of these organizations with many helpful suggestions for the 1931
