George, during your visit to CCF did you seek out other areas where original green sites or tees were? I’ve always wondered about the original 4th hole, before Tillinghast came in and redid the 4th, the original green appears to be a Raynor ‘Short’ hole in design, (surrounded by sand, the green was originally to the left of the current 4th). Any thoughts?
Was there ever an Alps feature at CCF? Regarding your comments on the Biarittz, the neat thing is - its still there(11th hole at one time), it’s just not a green anymore. The greenside bunkers, (now considered fairway bunkers for the current 10th) hole have been restored.
I have played there many times, and my major source of info is the old scorecard. I will post, along with some pictures.
