I've seen similar boards as in picture one at Lahinch and Portrush.

I suspect #1 is in the R&A.
Are the other 2 also in Scotland?
I REALLY should recognise that Stag logo...

FBD.

The stag logo possibly Loch Lomond?

I just realized that the second one is a mirror and not a flat screen monitor. I have no clue as to the hole in the mirror.

Bill,
LLGC's logo is only a Stag's HEID!!  and not the whole Beastie.

FBD.

Rich is correct.  The names I do recognise are Bonnallack, Oosterhuis, Faldo, (Sandy) Lyle & McEvoy.

They have 2 day competition, which unfortunately in recent year’s has clashed with the weekend of the Amateur final so they don't quite get the field they used too.

And the others? ;D

Tony,
you don't recognise Peter McEvoy or Russell Claydon?
The shame...

 ;D
FBD.

Martin,

I did edit just in time to reduce my shame by 50% - call it embarrassment? ;)

Often on here people will argue that the quality of the winners is a reflection of the quality of the course.  Is there a better list of winners of a club open (amatuer) competition anywhere?

Is the stag logo the Berkshire too.  The double level 12th green on the Blue?

Hindhead for the mirror? Or the approach to the 17th at Royal Ashdown Forest?

I'm off to bed so I may as well admitt they are all at the Berkshire, and the stag is their logo.

Played there last August the 12th and two young deer did cross our paths. If it had been in Scotland then the sound of gunfire everywhere would surely have scared them off!

Are there better, more attractive and appropriate decorations for a locker room, grill room, men's bar or whatever than those type of tournament boards? When they are well done and well placed they add an essence of atmosphere you cannot buy any other way in my opinion. Winged Foot here in the states has an awesome display. I think Seminole does as well.

Tony

Which hole is in that mirror?  Blue 14th has a blind drive but I don't remember the mirror.

Paul yes it's the 14th.  I played it first in 2004 and it was there then.  Works really well, you stand facing away from the hole but you can follow the path of the ball quite clearly.

I'm just sorting out the pictures and will start a new thread soon.
