Joseph Bartholomew
Interesting read about Bartholomew. He was quite the entrepreneur.

NYT glossed over the design being a Raynor. Seems important. It's like it was intentionally vague to allow you to think he designed it.
Did anyone else read it that way?

Uhhh yea, he didn’t build MCC, Seth Raynor did.
No doubt JB had a big impact on the city and black golfers though.

Literally just listened to a podcast focusing on Raynor this morning with the head of the Raynor Society and they confirmed MCC is a Raynor design and he worked with Bartholomew because the members were adamant they wanted Bartholomew to be the construction superintendent of Raynor's design and sent him to travel and work with Raynor prior to construction. But Raynor designed, visited and oversaw it.
