Bart Lower brings us the story of Tom Bendelow, a golf course architect who was heralded in the 20's as the Dean of America's Golf Architects, and how little known he is in this country. Bart Lower caught up with Stuart Bendelow, the grandson of Tom Bendelow at Timber Ridge Golf Club. He became interested in his grandfather's career after being contacted by Medinah CC about his grandfather for their program on their hosting of the 81st PGA Championship in 1999. Bendelow, designed Medinah in 1925. http://www.medinahcc.org/ This two part series, sheds some light on a corner of golf history that has been in the shade for the past 50 years.

The MG did a cover story on Bendelow in our May/June issue http://michigangolfer.com/may04/index.html
