Tom,

Doug is correct. #7 is the 7th hole of the original Bethpage Blue course. Pictured is from a very entertaining exhibition match played on May 9, 1935. Bethpage Professional Al "Red" Brosch would shoot a 75 which was matched by Jimmy Hines. Charley Lacey would shoot a 74 and Whiffy Cox would set the first official course record with a two-over par score of 73. The team of Lacey and Hines won the match 1-up. In September, during another exhibition match, Horton Smith would set a new course record with a 69, the first time par would be broken on the Blue Course and at Bethpage.

Cox, who won more money than any other professional in the 1933-34 winter season said, "It is the finest public links I have ever seen..."

The Blue course would garner rave reviews from all the following year when it, along with the Red course, were the site of the 1936 US Public Links championship.

While I have no idea, I'll take a wild guess and say one of the pictures is of the original Deepdale by CBM/Raynor.  Maybe #5?

Would 10 be Plandome?

No not Plandome, but this course is NLE too.

Hint: The mentor of the man running across the bridge was a member of this club.
