The photo of this plaque was sent from Pinehurst by Janet Hull for us to appreciate:
Richard S. Tufts (1896-1980) was the grandson of James W Tufts, the founder of Pinehurst. He served as President of the USGA, Walker Cup Captain, and was a staunch believer in amateurism. As a protege of Donald Ross, he built 40 new holes at Pinehurst and revised many more. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame posthumously in 1992.
