From Golf Illustrated Jan 1928.. In order of how he would like them played.. Holderness was 2 time Amateur Champion..
1. #17 at Deal.. Vardon's Parlour. "Played as a drive and mashie is an excellent first hole. Tee overlooks roling ground, green is guarded by cross bunkers and rests in saddle made by rolling dunes.. Uh, Sean Arble, I told you this was a great hole!
2. 13th at Gleneagles
3. 5th at Burham and Berrow. Hello Arble?
4. 5th at Westward Ho.. "A hole that is world famous. Most golfers are familiar at least with the picture of the sandy waste which stretches in front of the tee for 180 yards termnating into a big bunker which rises out of a plain. The fairway for the drive is immense and there is no penalty provided one can carry the Sahara and the bunker.."
5. 11th at St. Enodoc.. Holderness has this as a two shotter and the current 11th is a par 3.. Braid revised this hole in the 30s. I need to look at my club history..
6th 2nd at Sandwich
7th 5th at St. Enodoc.. the one shotter that Tom Simpson put an extremely slippery tee on. "A long green which lies at an angle to the tee b/t a steepened bunker on the left and stone wall on the right"
8th- 2nd at Princes (NLE)
9th 4th at Dornoch "The 4th at Dornoch is a hole which takes a tremendous amount of playing. The drive is along a narrow plateau like a shelf with a steep hill on the left to catch a bad hook. The feature of the hole is a green, a plateau with a runup b/t bunkers"
10th 15th at Sandwich
11th 13th at The Old Course.
12th 13th at Pennard
13th 12th at the Old Course
14th 17th at Prestwick
15th 17th at Pennard-- until they put in that flat landing area to try and hold a drive!!! Holderness says, "the 17th at Pennard commends itself to me for the second shot over the oblique range of bunkers rising tier on tier behind each other."
16th 8th at Rye-- when it was a par 3.. not sure if this is now the 7th..
17th 15th at Prestwick
18th 18 at Machrihanish
