Evolution of a Caveman – It was late in the afternoon of a restoration project when an idea struck Bill Kittleman during construction of a bunker. At the time (long before the GEICO commercials) we were all youngsters and the superintendent at the club was not a big fan of these “architects” who actually got on machinery, played in the dirt, and who were not big fans of his previously over maintained bunkers on the course. As a result, cooperation from the superintendent and maintenance crew was minimal, and when Bill attempted to explain his thoughts in the dirt there was not a shovel or rake to be found anywhere. Undaunted, he picked up a stick and began to whittle away at the soil, gouging and scraping to achieve the desired effect. Bill turned to us and said “Look at this, we are like a bunch of (expletive) cavemen out here building bunkers with sticks, this is caveman construction!” The term stuck, and Bill who has been a mentor to us, proved that we are willing to use any means necessary to create the detail and character that we feel is so important to our work.
