Travers US Am Repeat At Garden City

[Jim_Kennedy]

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle ran a series of articles -  Aug. 19th through 24th - about the upcoming 1913 US Amateur at Garden City.

Nice back to back wins for Jerome Travers, but nothing could 'match' the excitement of Francis Ouimet's US Open win that year.

No photos of the course, just drawings, some of which are at the bottom of the page so you'll have to do a little scrolling to see them all.
A sampling - the three par 3s:







Any other stretch of nine holes without a par 3, ala GCGC ?

AAAARGH!!! I missed that.   

If anyone has anything to add, do it on Joe's thread.

Thanks. These old newspaper hole drawings are fantastic.

In many cases they are the best evidence we have of older hole iterations.

I just saw Craig's old thread. Thanks for that too. I had forgotten it.

Garden City gets a lot of 'play' , at least on GCA.
