"William Park Bell was born in 1886 and moved to California as a young man in 1911 where he served as caddiemaster at Annandale Golf Club and then greenskeeper at Pasadena Golf Club. Bell, Sr. went on to served as a construction superintendent for Willie Watson and George Thomas, Jr. before his eventually stepping up to golf course architecture on his own. And while he spent his first years as a course architect collaborating with Thomas on his great designs of the 1920s, (including the Bel-Air, Riviera and Los Angeles country clubs), Bell also designed a number of courses on his own during that time."
