Thank you for these.

Sven,
 
Thanks for posting the photo tour.
 
Interestingly enough, when I was last at NGLA, while on the 15th hole I had a discussion with a member about the 15th green and bringing it back, further, toward the tee.
 
We discussed the benefit/s with respect to playability on the approach, recovery and putting, and  low and behold, your photo tour captured the 15th exactly as we described.
 
I've forwarded the photo of the 15th to some interested parties and would hope that the 15th green is returned to it's configuration in the photo.
 
Thanks for taking the time and effort to put the old photo tour together, it's very much appreciated.

Sven,

I'm surprised these stunning historical photo threads haven't received much in the way of commentary.

Thank you for taking the time to put these together and share.
