29 Newly discovered Park plans to provide reference for Staples’ work FROM THE ARCHI VE Andy Staples – who has worked on Wille Park Jr designs at Olympia Fields (North) in Chicago and Meadowbrook in Michigan, and has also recently been hired by Canadian club Mount Bruno – will reference Park’s original, recently discovered, plans to develop his own master plan to guide work at Weston Golf & Country Club in Toronto, Canada. Among the Park materials Staples is referencing for his new plan are sketches of every hole (sketch of first hole, pictured right), which have detailed annotations about the height and slopes of green complexes and mounds, as well as depth of bunkers. He is also armed with 1947 aerial photography and historic ground shots, plus a 1926 master plan (pictured above) drawn up by Toronto-based engineering firm, John Kennedy Co Ltd. “It’s incredible to have the quality and quantity of resources available for our historical research – the Weston members should be commended,” said Staples.
