Was there an article that accompanied this map?

The development plan for Fairyland Golf Club is shown below. Raynor's plan is shown fairly accurately on this figure. Clubhouse is shown in a different location than Raynor's plan. Clubhouse was actually built along planned fairway for 17th hole, a par 5. This hole became a par 4 and with new clubhouse, the hole planned to be the 17th became the first hole.

They were to build a lodge for the golf club, the Crest Lodge. The Fairyland Inn (now Fairyland Club) had been built by the time of course construction. The Crest Lodge was never built. The name is pronounced 'Fair-land' Club despite the many fairy like street names in the neighborhood. The story is that when Mr. Jack Lupton visited a club up north, he wore a golf shirt with the club name. Someone remarked about, oh you have a club by that name or something like that. Being club president, the course name was soon changed to Lookout Mountain Golf Club.

Thanks Joe! I like that the road hole is shown with both 2 shot and 3 shot alternatives. It continued to play as a par 5 for another 30 years.

Thanks for the Pebble Beach sketches.

Below is a sketch of Palmetto Golf Club circa 1931, before the conversion from sand to grass greens.

Thanks John! Its amazing how much unused land appears on that drawing. I've always thought of Palmetto as a masterpiece in economy of space. Looks like they actually had more room to maneuver than I would have expected.

It's interesting how #12 looks so straight, I recall a pretty pronounced dogleg.

Stupid question of the day: With respect to the Hoylake diagram, what exactly are "rushes"?

This could be stupid answer of the day, b/c I'm just taking a guess that they are plants in this family:

Does anyone know if the greens at Oakmont were squared-off at that time?

That is too cool of a drawing.
