FROM MY PHOTO STASH: Guess the course! (Answers posted)

[Greg Tallman]

Shot at redemption Huck... can you name this hole... without clicking properties?

[Tom Huckaby]

OK so I was wacko.

It sucks getting old.  My memory is shot.

 

You simply need a refresher... which Ran and I are going to work on I believe.

Boy you've got that right.  I am working the marital negotiations now... might have to bring the kids, but we shall see - hopefully spring/summer 2009.  In the meantime I am sending an emissary your way to pave the way for me.  Oh yes, the Silver Fox Benham shall be down there quite soon.

 

And re that pic... 9 on the Desert?  Freakin' great hole, even if I get it wrong....

There is a difference between The Golf Club of California and California Golf Club.... I think the Golf Club of California is in SoCal.

Well played and if you look closely you may see me down in the arroyo searching for yet another drive... one of the days I will admit I cannot fly it 285 and cut the corner... not next time, but one of these days!

[Tom Huckaby]

LOL

I admire you for trying.  I know I punted and went right, knowing my meager limitations.

Man I loved that course.... you have TWO gems there, and people tend to forget that.

Just another photo I enjoy... can you identify from where this was taken?

[Tom Huckaby]

WOW!

Ok I know those golf holes - 17 and 18 on CdeS Ocean.

Maybe this was from a hot-air balloon?  If not that, one of those parachute things pulled by a boat that I never have had a chance to try?  Maybe the top of that lighthouse on the other side of the bay?  That seems too low for this angle though....

Third time's the charm. Lighthouse it is.

[Tom Huckaby]

WOW!  That is very cool.  I guess the distance from the lighthouse is what made me think it wasn't as high as it is... man that is muy spectacular.

Roughly same height you are standing on 15 tee.



and opposite angle looking back to lighthouse from behind 17 green

[Tom Huckaby]

Very very cool.

I've said it before and I shall say it again:  there are few if any cooler spots in golf that what you are showing right there.

i don't think this is correct, but is #7 the 19th hole at Forest Creek?

[Kyle Henderson]

Nope.

[Allan Long]

7 looks like #2 at the National GC in Pinehurst.

[Kyle Henderson]

7 looks like #2 at the National GC in Pinehurst.

Nope. It's closer to Raleigh.

[Allan Long]

7 looks like #2 at the National GC in Pinehurst.

Nope. It's closer to Raleigh.

At second glance, no way it's a Par 3. How about #3 at Crooked Creek?

Correct! Although, the green is drivable if the winds cooperate. Nothing like a two put birdie on a par 4.

Any chance 7 is Lahontan???

[rjsimper]

Come on, give me a LITTLE credit as a native Californian, Benham and Henderson...

California Golf Club and Golf Club of California are entirely different.  I may be an idiot sometimes, but that'd be like guessing the architect of a photo of the 16th at Cypress as Ted Robinson.

Here's the hole at GC of CA that I was referencing and while not correct, at least it's on the right track, although a bit of a mirror image (and even the surrounding terrain is similar)

[Jed Peters]

Any chance 7 is Lahontan???

No. It's the putting green at old greenwood.

It's actually the putting green at Apple Mountain (Camino, CA).
