Title: Walnut Lane GC ( Findlay, 1940) in Philadelphia gets "makeover."
Post by: Steve_ Shaffer on May 29, 2017, 04:30:43 PM

My " home course" during my law school days, this Philadelphia muni has seen hard times recently. Now, with the help of First Tee and volunteer efforts by local superintendents, Asplundh & Buckley Construction the course has shown much needed improvements:

Glad to see Walnut Lane get some very much needed TLC.  My last round there was August 2016 and it was not in good shape.

Interesting! Bill Hyndman and the Asplundh family are Huntingdon Valley members.
