Recovering Earlier Design Features
At Aronimink, Prichard began recovering Donald Ross’s design in the mid-1990s. The PGA TOUR’s account places that work before Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner’s 2016–17 restoration, which used older photographs to enlarge greens and recover lost bunker areas. Prichard’s contribution belongs to that earlier phase of the course’s recovery.2
