Bryan & David,
Thanks.
I'll try to take some pictures from the 18th tee area on my next visit.
When you look at all of these old photos and see how rugged the land and features were, and you consider the rudimentry equipment used in those days, the game of golf had to be one really, really hard game.
And yet, it's popularity kept increasing despite the demands of the game.
I wonder, in today's world, if golfers had to play under those conditions, with that equipment, what the level of whining would be ? And, what would that do to the game's popularity ?
