Sharp Park Photo Essay
« on: November 17, 2011, 08:38:25 AM »
Bill Fields has posted a nice photo essay (with 30 b&w pics) on Sharp Park on the Golf Digest website. The hearing for the lawsuit over the future of the course begins today.

Seems like a special place David. I hope things go well for the golf course in court and that eventually they could restore a few of the original features/holes. What a property though!

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed that. I wish they'd have included a picture of the outside of the clubhouse. I really like those WPA golf buildings, and that's  a great one that really 'fits' the course.

I thought it did a great job of highlighting the players. It really irks me when public golf is derided as elitist. That's so far from my experience at munis, and those pictures bear that out.

Here is a picture of the clubhouse.

It matches the course perfectly:  Frayed around the edges and in need of some TLC, but definitely classy and nostalgic.

Thanks for the clubhouse pic! "Frayed around the edges and in need of some TLC, but definitely classy and nostalgic" is a perfect description, and that's why it's a perfect match for the course!

With Tommy "two glove" playing so well these days, this may be a growing trend...

The cart fest doesn't do much for me.
