I'd love to see pics of those Dutch courses, particularly Kennemer, Eindhoven and De Dommel, as I've seen very few from these courses.  

Kennemer appears to have had a load of bunkers filled in-quite recently (comparing The World Atlas of Golf (80s edition) with their website plans).

If you email any pics to me, I would be v happy to post them for you, use this email:  pbtjab@aol.com

Thanks

Frank,  understand that during a recent Colt cup match in the Netherlands you gave a presentation about Colt's Dutch courses and highlighted some typical Colt holes from each course.  Would you be willing to share which holes you mentioned and why.

Jeroen,

you are well informed. I indeed recently presented during the Colt Cup (an annual match between the Dutch Colt Courses, Haagsche, Kennemer, Pan, Eindhoven, Dommel and Hilversum).

Topic was Colt's design filosofy and how certain holes on the various courses fitted those. I let the clubs pick their own favorite hole. The ones they chose were:

Eindhoven hole 3
Pan hole 15
Haagsche hole 15
Kennemer hole 9
Dommel hole 5
Hilversum hole 16

If you give me your contact details I would be happy to send you a CD Rom with the Powerpoint presentation on it (file is 32 Mb, a bit too large to e-mail).

Thanks Frank. I will drop you a message with my details.  I am living in the UK at the moment but am still a member at Hilversum and your presentation was mentioned in the club magazine. Also interested in some of the pictures of the Dutch courses you mentioned. Happy to forward my digital photo collection of Dutch and UK courses (Paul already posted many).

A few photos from Frank.  Compare the bunker on the 15th with the old pic.


15th Kennemer


16th Kennemer


18th Eindhoven: looks very similar to De Pan.
