Old Photos of Bay Hill?
« on: March 06, 2024, 10:05:18 AM »
Looking earlier at Sean Martin's X/Twitter post of 18 at Bay Hill, then an now got me thinking.  It's pretty cool how the course used to be sandy and scrubby, giving off a Pinehurst type of vibe.  Clearly they bought into the greener is better idea over time.


Does anyone know of any old aerials or photos of Bay Hill?  I thought it would be cool to see.

Mark--


I have I think 19 slides from BH in Dec 1974.  Viewing them is tough as my slide projector bulb burnt out and finding a replacement is easier said than done.  I know the course opened in the early 60's and think AP got involved in 1970.  The Citrus Open was played at Rio PInar thru 1978 and the in '79 became the AP Invitational at BH
