Name That Bridge
« on: November 08, 2014, 09:02:06 PM »
This is my first attempt at uploading pictures onto GCA.  After some of the recent commentary on bridges, I thought I'd throw these out there.  Most are not terribly difficult to identify, but there are a few that might be tricky:

#1: Lost Dunes



#2: Olympia Fields North



#3: Brae Burn



#4: Victoria National



#5: Greyhawk Talon



#6: Crooked Stick



#7: Peachtree



#8: Valhalla



#9: Oak Hill East



#10: Victoria National



#11: Streamsong Blue

Is this Himalayan Golf Club?  They had four or five awesome bridges!

Is #9 Colonial?  It's been a long time since I've been there.  And #10 might be Dallas National.

Someone got confused trying to implement a Pratt or a Howe truss, which both function excellently for this application, and provided neither.
