Well, there you go, Bill.  That top picture house was called the "19th Hole." You can just make out a round sign off the right side of the building.  It reads "19."

Looking at the card again, those don't appear to be typos; the hole pars for each nine sum to 36.  I don't know much about routing, but does this look like something Fowler, Simpson or any other well-known architect would come up with?

Have you ever seen a course with 3 par 3s in a row, two par 5s in a row, and which closes out the round with two par 3s?

And a 340-yard par 3?!

MB,
not sure if you're being obtuse or just trying to catch us all out! ;)

Fowler clearly had, as our Constabularian colleagues say, 'previous'.

cheers,

PS Happy Labo(u)r Day weekend! ;D
