Great to see Franklin Meehan's contributions to Lulu recognized through Joe Bausch's research.

It's very interesting to see how much of the Meehan first 9 holes are still intact at least in terms of the routing. It includes the awesome little Quarry hole Par 3 fourth.

Mike,


Did Ross do any work on the existing 9?

I think a local tv station had a piece on the course, CSN perhaps.  I say "I think" because I saw it on a bar tv without sound in a work situation where I couldn't really follow.

The golf focus in that article sounds great.


If the Philly guys do a fall outing, I would love to finally see this course.

Here is the link to the most recent visit by Harry Donahue and Inside Golf.  Nice instructional piece filmed on hole number 4.
