Unknown Maxwell works on National Golf Links of America in Southampton, New York. [“The Architects of Golf” by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Ronald E. Whitten (1981); The Daily Oklahoman, May 23, 1993; “The Midwest Associate”, by Christopher Clouser (2006), Pg. 253] Editorial Note: Multiple modern sources credit Maxwell with working on NGLA.
