George,

Perhaps a dumb question, but does #13 at Tamarack qualify?  I believe it plays as a par 5 from the member tees but a par 4 from the tips.  While technically not a dogleg, the use of the canted fairway and the bunkering would seem to conform to type.

Jud, I don't remember the hole and generally if you looked at it today, it probably has been altered from the original.

I'll see how old an aerial or drawing I have. These usually only can be identified from the original, design.

Stay tuned

I have the Banks concept drawing and great aerial from 1934 and nothing on the course seems to fit the Prize Dog Leg strategy.

Wondering if #2 at Lookout was to be the Prize Dogleg there. I have the original drawing; looks a lot like what has been posted in this thread. But it's downhill; then up hill. Was to have been the 18th hole in the original plan.

George,
I would argue that the 6th hole at Southampton Golf Club is a pretty close rendition of Raynor's Prize Dogleg. It needed some tweaking which we have done but the bones were there all along IMHO. The  first set of bunkers on the inside/left of the dogleg now have some fairway routing in and around them. A new bunker about 30 or so yards in front of the green and well into the fairway was a added as the topography just yelled out for it to be there in perfect placement. I agree the hole does not have the traditional length but we do not have the largest piece of land to work with so perhaps it was made to fit. It can play long at times and it is not an easy hole to play.Just my thoughts. As a side note when does the book on Raynor come out?

Dave - hard to say. I work on it in spurts. The course reviews number near 100 and there is a lot of info to put together - and much of the course information keeps shifting as more and more information surfaces or courses he never got credited for, surface (North Shore - Nassau - Riddles Bay - Olympic and many more)

Then there are courses with little definitve information - example: Castle Habour by Charles Banks - a couple courses n South America - a private estate course for William Strauffer in New Orleans

Be sure I want to get the story out there - this story is too important and the "Raynor story" is what started me off in the interesting change of direction I have taken over the past, near 25 years.

Need a publisher but that should not be a prob given the other book

George,

Good luck getting the book together. It sounds like a moving target to gather so much information. Where do you think the best version of Raynor's Prize Dogleg is?

Dave Green:

I'm not sure is a "pure" one left - I think I would have been aware because it is one of my favorite long hole strategies as i said above

The two best ones that were built were the original, the 6th at Lido and the 9th at Ocean Links (both NLE).

Try this, which has a good view on18 in the plan, suggested as the Prize Dog Leg

From the picture, I does look like a raynor prize dogleg
The cross bunkers off the tee seem very portentous  ;D
