An additional reason to stop by USGA Golf House and Museum in Liberty Corner (Bernardsville) NJ is the 16,000 square foot Pynes putting course designed by none other than Gil Hanse. I have not seen a mention of the course on GCA.com.
I stopped by the USGA in late November and it really is a fun course to go around a few times. There is a charge of $5 to play the course, and the USGA gives you a choice of replica balls to play with and keep, and there are several models of replica hickory shafted putters to borrower or purchase including one of Calamity Jane.
The course is named in honor of Percy R Pyne III and Evelyn Pyne who owned the estate that part of the USGA grounds are located on. I believe Mr. Pyne is the son of Percy R. Pyne II, one of the founders of our club - Springdale Golf Club in Princeton,NJ, (originally known as Princeton Golf Club), who was also the third Intercollegiate Golf Champion in 1899 while attending Princeton.
