I think George has done a tremendous service by posting these pictures in conjunction with his other thread about was golf better back then.  the original b/w George posted depicts a bunker construction that is infinately better looking than the colors that were posted.  The hard edge is so much more attractive than the flashed sand on the colors.  George may have done this purposely but I find it interseting all these posts he has put up particularly as it relates to the ruggedness of the course in the old B/W which may distort my perceptions, but it seems the acceptance of less than ideal conditions outsdie of the greens, the rugged windblown eroded nature of the bunker faces and such that you see in the old books seems to speak of a time when owners/supers where less concerned about tidying up every little feature, the effect is powerful.  Great job George.

Kelly thanks

boy, just look at where that back left pin could be!

George,

   Kelly is just yanking your chain!!! He's sucking up to get a crack at rehabbing Mid-Ocean some day with you.

The back left pin is the usual member pin FYI

That's what intriques me also. Tom, an why I said I want to do another poto from the same location as the b & W.

That right bunker is crying to be in play.

Brian Slawnik did the mowing lines.  He's been consulting there (with my occasional input) for about 4 years now.  It's a great place to visit, but not on the way to China or New Zealand.
