Jim,

Is 9 Brooklawn Country Club? 

I didn't recognize it immediately. There was a huge tree on the right, front side of the green when I played there a few years back.  An updated aerial image shows the tree has been removed. 

What year was this photo?

Figures a CT guy'd get it. ;)  I don't have the exact date handy, but it's before '24.

Inverness is correct.

2. Sleepy Hollow GC- current short course
3. FL- First hole was named "Maria Sanchez".  
4. NY - Home of Harold Hilton's 37th hole win by a controversial ricochet from a rock onto the green.
5. Oakmont CC
6. Garden City GC -  A Mucci favorite
7. UK - Take Puncbowl Lane to get here.
8. Pebble Beach GL
9. Brooklawn CC
10. Arcola CC - Pat like this course too
11. UK - Had a racetrack for the first seven years of its life.  
12. TX -Mike Souchak liked this place for 46 years
13. Ekwanok CC
14. Nassau CC - more than one way to win a bet
15. Lakewood CC  - Club still has the three "LCC" bunkers fronting the green.
16. IL- As David said - Watson, then Tilly w/Langford, and finally Art Hills
17. Inverness CC
18. Columbia CC

I've cheated on 7. In the UK there are only 2 Punchbowl Lanes and only one overlooks a golf course.  ;) I've never played the course so won't give it away.

No. 16 hosted the Western Open in 1921.  The Western Open.

Thanks Marc.
I've seen Betchworth spelled Beechworth, Beckworth, etc. ??

Are those "Eleanor's Teeth" on #4 at Apawamis?

The photo I posted is too early for that.

Jim Hoak,

Ever since you posted the reference to "Eleanor's Teeth" I've been mulling over which of the "looks" I prefer, and which I'd rather play.

I prefer the original "Rocket J. Squirrel" over the "Eleanor Roosevelt" on both counts.  ;D

I just got off the phone with Mark Chalfant and while jawing  :o about this-and-that we remembered another set of "Eleanor's Teeth".

The teeth at Apawamis show up in a 1947 aerial. These are a bit west of the Apawamis set and were added to this course sometime after 1939 - know it?  :
