This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Tom Simpson (1877-1964) was a golf architect. The only son of a printing magnate, he read Law at Cambridge University and was called to the Bar before becoming a golf architect at the age of 33. He lived in Surrey, England, where he was a prominent member of Liphook Golf Club.

The Tom Simpson Society [^[1]]was formed as tribute to his design prowess. Simpson expressed interest in design by writing a letter to Golf Illustrated in 1908 followed by joining Herbert Fowler's design company in 1910. In 1929, Simpson co-authored The Architectural Side of Golf. Quote: Now in golf course design, the obvious thing is almost invariably the wrong thing.
