I'm not going to try any embarassing stabs so will just stick with #11, Swinley Forest looking back up the 1st fairway to green 18, obviously 14 is Merion and I know 17 is the Addington but not sure what hole.

Marc,

Right on all counts.  #14 is the 16th at Merion East, an unusual angle to a oft-photographed hole.  #17 is the 5th at Addington; eerily similar to the 16th at Manufacturers GCC in Philadelphia.

Isn't 17 the "Wodehouse" bunker (6th hole?)?

#1 Muirfield, 3rd hole from behind the green

#9 The Old Course, 5th hole about 150 yards from the green.

James B

ps I initially thought #10 was Beechtree 8th hole, but I was wrong.

Jeff,

Sorry, you're right.  It is the 6th hole at the Addington.

Eric,

Right course, wrong hole.

James,

Correct on #1 and #9.  Yes, you are wrong about #10.

Are they all holes designed by William Flynn?


:)



I'd guess #2 is the private Flynn course in Florida.... Indian Island something or other...

Wayne:

Great pics!

#1 -- a guess, but a Scottish Open rota course? Turnberry?

#2 -- Seminole?

#3 -- I've seen this, and am killing myself for not recalling it.

#4 -- A Flynn; Lancaster?

#5 -- St. Enodoc?

#6 -- Another Flynn -- PPike or The Country Club?

#7 -- Don't know, but love the look of that false-front, semi-skyline green.

#8 -- Myopia?

#9 -- Really has a Carnoustie look to it, though obviously not Spectacles.

#10 -- I've seen this as well, though not sure where it is.

#12 -- Tillie?

#13 -- Pennard?

#17 -- Addington or Alwoodley, I forget which one. Addington, I think.

#18 -- Another Flynn? This looks familiar, too.

#19 -- Has to be Shinny, because you probably couldn't/wouldn't do a picture thread without at least one of your favorite course.

I know that #14 is the 16th a Merion.

The only other one that struck me (maybe) is #10:  The 16th at Kittansett?

Edit:  I can say with confidence there are no photos of Myopia...

Wayne,
Are you sure #2 isn't actually the 7th green at Indian Creek?

#8 is the Creek Club, 9th fairway on the right, 12th? green on the left.

Thanks for posting these. A great collection.

Craig:
Actually I believe that #8 is the 12th at The Creek taken from the 9th fairway. #8 at Creek is a par 3 (redan).

Is 6 = #18 Cascades (Lower)?  If so, that pond used to be a swimming hole -- with a net to protect bathers!

Thanks for the effort, Wayne!

#13 could be St Andrews New #8.

#2 looks like Doral Blue #1.

But I could be completely wrong!  :P
