McCall G&CC(Flynn) in Upper Darby, PA celebrates 100 years
« on: July 16, 2012, 12:38:59 PM »
Formerly known as Philadelphia Electric CC, McCall celebrates 100 years. Originally built as an employee benefit, golf started as a 9 hole Ross design. Later, Flynn expanded the course. Jeff Silverman writes in the GAP magazine:

It's short but difficult to score.

It's not that difficult to score at McCall.  I break 80 there every time.   ;D

 Philly is a great area for golf. McCall is great fun and yet I never even think of it.

It is fun to look back about 5 years ago when I started this quest to photodocument most courses in the area.  One of the first I did was McCall.  And it shows in many ways as my picture taking and post-processing was uneven, to say the very least.  With that said, here is McCall from a morning round back in 2007:
