#10 Friars Head

#16 Carnoustie
#17 or #18 Carnoustie for that matter

« **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2006, 02:39:21 PM »

OK, trying to fit in with some of the gaps:

Par 3 with no bunkers:

Crystal Downs #11 (can't recall if there's one there)
Winged Foot East #17

Opening Last year,

Bandon Trails #14

Down to one mentioned course with the inclusion of The Country Club.

TOC #14 ?

« **Reply #30 on:** August 31, 2006, 02:44:53 PM »

There has to be one from this year's Ryder Cup venue so I say K Club #16 par 5. Renumbered from #7 for the Cup.

« **Reply #31 on:** August 31, 2006, 02:46:42 PM »

Down to three. The par 3 and the par 5 are in GB&I, but not the same county. The par 4 is in the US, the state is not included in the guesses and was designed before 1950 and is on a profiled course by country.

Prairie Dunes #8?

« **Reply #33 on:** August 31, 2006, 02:55:00 PM »

To my knowledge the par 3 and the par 4 have never been on US live television for a tournament, and both courses have been undergone revision, renovation or restoration in ther past few years.

lahinch #5

« **Reply #35 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:05:18 PM »

Edited because I'm stupid.

« **Reply #36 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:05:54 PM »

With Garland's pick of Lahinch, we are left with a par 5, in Great Britain, and a par 4 in the US.

New clues: One is on an Open course which has been mentioned. The US course is in the NE.

2nd Royal Aberdeen?

« **Reply #38 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:09:18 PM »

Shinnecock 18?

« **Reply #39 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:11:26 PM »

Garland, Royal Aberdeen is not a modern Open course. NY had already been guessed.

« **Reply #40 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:13:18 PM »

14 Royal St. George

« **Reply #41 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:16:07 PM »

Yale? #8?

Royal St. George's #4?

« **Reply #42 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:25:06 PM »

Now both courses have been mentioned. Both holes are in the outward nine. They are not numbered 1,2,7 or 9.

« **Reply #43 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:26:19 PM »

By elimination, then I guess Yale #4 is the par-4..

« **Reply #44 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:29:15 PM »

the only other par 5 on the outward 9 at RSG is #7, but you said no #7.

Yale #3, #4, or #6. I thought of #4 awhile ago, but thought that 2 Road Holes was repetitive.

« **Reply #45 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:30:53 PM »

Bingo on Yale, the par 5 has OB, but no water.

« **Reply #46 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:35:45 PM »

TOC #5?

« **Reply #47 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:38:12 PM »

..or perhaps #6 at Carnoustie?

« **Reply #48 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:38:45 PM »

Can't be on TOC, precluded by clue that Augusta National is the only double choicee. Can't be Troon, either.
