Great par 4s.  Lots of them.  I played at the suggestion of Cummings and enjoyed it immensely.  See if if you are in the area.

I just played in the Baltimore Two Man a few weeks ago there and I love the course. Its conditioning was not as good as in prior years, but it is a good layout. It is where I played my first 18 holes of golf. Not sure who Gus Hook is though.

Fellows,

Gus Hook was the Parks Superintendent of Baltimore for many years, beginning in the 30s, I believe.

There is a brief profile of him in "The Architects of Golf" by C&W.

He was involved with changes or outright designs of most of the Baltiimore city courses.

I don't know how he learned what he did, but he did a splendid job, as Baltimore has a plethora of worthwhile city courses.
