Another golf architectural quiz

[ian]

That's funny I banked on the fact that Limburger did a few courses "that were admittedly awful." It seems Mr Hoffman had the talent, yet Cornish and Whitten list everything under Limburger.

I think I will retire to Dr Suess with the kids, "Hoffman Hears a Who" may be on the list for tonight.  

Love the quiz, and I'm impressed how quick some of the answers came. Dumb guys like me need the clues.

Well done Ian.   Shows what happens when a rank amateur in GCA history and research goes up against a pro.  He'll get beaten everytime

Now for #6.  All I get out of geometric design, famous and links is NLGA due to Raynor's involvement.  But I know that is too easy.  I'll keep watch and wait for the right answer.

I gave away #12 on another thread. That would be Richmond designed by Willie Park II. I'll give all the answers this evening.

Here are the answers:

A very impressive showing by those who answered most of these very tough questions. I thought some of the wrong answers were equally impressive.


1. John Morrison



2. Brancaster and Horace Hutchinson



3. St. Charles and Robert Trent Jones



4. Karl Hoffman



5. Mar del Plata



6. Royal Dornoch



7. Tom Bendelow



8. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle



9. Sandy Lodge and Harry Vardon/HS Colt



10. Herbert Leeds



11. Prince's



12. Richmond and Willie Park-Jr.

Tom

Good stuff.

Fascinating picture of Dornoch.  I've seen a similar square green shot for the 17th, but I'm guessing this one is probably the 1st (old (OTM) or new (DJR)).  Am I close?

[T_MacWood]

Rich
You've got a good eye. That is the 1st, circa 1904-05.

[Dave Kemp]

Tom,

Thanks for putting this together.  Although I was easily an 0 for 12, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Also I learned a little bit more and at this stage in the game that is what it is all about.

Look forward to another quiz.

Dave
