My guess is that The Old Man has been dialed into these CC of Troy and Lookout Point posts. Ben Crenshaw said it best when he said, according to a former pro at Hollywood Golf Club, "Travis created the greatest greens in the world."
I've been fortunate to be able to play LPCC on many occasions over the past 18 years. It is very difficult for me to pick out a favorite hole. Each has its intrigue and challenge. Coupled with the effects of the escarpment and very interesting terrain, its a course that grabs and keeps your attention. I am very impressed with how Frank's pictures capture the excitement of that course.
If I may: There is no better source for learning about, and understanding Walter Travis than the biography by Bob Labbance. Sadly, our good friend passed away before he could realize his desire to create a second Travis book. Within 5 years of the first book, he was convinced that we had gathered sufficient information about Travis's courses to produce the second book.
The Travis Society has the remaining inventory of new copies of "The Old Man", including those autographed by Bob. Contact us if you are interested.
