Here is our famed clubhouse, I suspect it might be a Wallace Neff design, but Wallace got screwed on the credit for it. When I drive up to Holmby, my heart tends to race and I get pretty excited. We're talking pure golf here, as good as it can get.
No matter where I live I will always hold my Holmby Park resident membership....By the way, there has always been rumor afoot that the restrooms in this picture are the same restrooms which then in-the-closet, pop star George Michael got busted in for illegal flute playing. This is not true as George was kicked out of the club some months before. So lets quash that rumor right now.....
I took this photo thinking it might someday have the same intrinsic value as the famed Tillinghast photo of Old Tom just outside of his shop. This is of course, Dan "Old Tom" King....
So Geoff and I are in this heated battle, it's going hole for hole and we get to the 13th.
The hole is called,
Duckling Creek, which has to be carried and the ball held on to the very small green. It's a tough, tough hole of some 37 yards. So I step up and put one about two or three yards off of the front of the green. Geoff gets up there and skulls one out into the street only he claims it isn't out of bounds and that its resting on a narrow median of turf between the street and sidewalk. He's got a street light in his follow-thru or his back-swing, (depending if it's In or out, you be the judge.) with a rather tall tree in the way.
So I yell to him,
that's out, and he claims,
no it isn't, and me being the boob that I am go ahead and take him for his word. He then proceeds to put it three feet from the pin and of course sinks his putt, which of course I choke on my next shot and skull it long and end up with four to Geoff's three. I went even further down from there, eventually getting my butt kicked in the match.
I still think he was OB.
Here's #4, which we appropriately call,
Ted Robinson. I wonder why?
