Best Golf View from the Office Window
« on: July 04, 2012, 11:27:21 PM »

This one has to rate pretty high.  What a wonderful job this must be to have this view from your office window.

LA CC has views from the Playboy Mansion as well as some high rises offices on Wilshire blvd.  I am guessing there are some office views of TOC as well.

There is nice office complex of 2 or 3 stories overlooking Metairie CC in Metairie La.

Seems like they are behind the tee on punchbowl, right?

Peter Dawson's office has a great view. Of course, who could get any work done looking out the window at a golf course?

I've never been so lucky as to have an office overlooking a golf course, but I used to have one looking down into the main rehearsal studio of Northern Ballet. As they got nearer to production of a show they wore their full costumes for rehearsal and it was a beautiful sight. I stood there for ours gazing!

However, one morning a girl came into the hall in her leotard and settled into a splits position, not fore and aft, but sideways with her back to the wall. I was in agony just seeing her. But then she started slowly bending her upper body forwards, keeping her back and neck utterly straight, until she touched the floor with her nose. Then she raised her back slowly until she was once again in contact with the wall. She did this a number of times. It was terrifying to witness and I had to leave the office!

I mainly work from home in North Berwick.  I am not ashamed to show off and say one window looks out over Redan and the other looks straight down the 16th green (Biarritz)

My new office at 'work' will look down the 9th hole (soon to be 6th) at Renaissance, over to Muirfield, with the Firth of Forth and Edinburgh in background.

Lucky boy.

Today I had a meeting with a good pal who is the FD at the R&A.  His window is one floor up, and the one to the left of the Big Room.  Now that is a great golf view.

Simon, I am envious.

I know you can see the Statue of Liberty from the two new courses in north Jersey, but can you see them from the offices of a skyscraper in Manhattan?
Big drivers and hot balls are the product of golf course design that rewards the hit one far then hit one high strategy.  Shinny showed everyone how to take care of this whole technology dilemma. - Pat Brockwell, 6/24/04

I'm kind of liking Simon's view.  The first picture I posted is from (very near) Ben's office at Cabot Links.  It's much more panoramic than the picture shows.

Peter Dawson's view must be spectacular.  If he get's tired of that he can turn around and gaze at the original of MacKenzie's map.
Let's make GCA grate again!

One of my former work partners office was located in an old converted barn, with a view of the tee, landing area and green of a dogleg par 5 at the course we managed. 

He said after a while he hardly remembered to look out the window.  Every time I visited the view distracted me.
