Americas Best according to Harry Vardon: Mayfield

« **Reply #25 on:** June 12, 2003, 06:23:38 AM »

Am I correct in assuming it is a course by either Emmet or Travis, based on your Men's Club reference?

« **Reply #26 on:** June 12, 2003, 06:27:26 AM »

Not Wee Burn, Baltimore or Myopia. I believe this course can be seen in Robert Hunter's or George Thomas's book - perhaps both.

« **Reply #27 on:** June 12, 2003, 06:28:26 AM »

Although it would likely be Emmet rather than Travis since the latter didn't begin designing golf courses in earnest until after the period you referenced.

Westchester CC?, or on LI, Maidstone?

« **Reply #29 on:** June 12, 2003, 06:42:37 AM »

Maidstone wasn't there. Not in it's current form.

« **Reply #30 on:** June 12, 2003, 06:58:23 AM »

Rockaway Hunt or Leatherstocking?

« **Reply #31 on:** June 12, 2003, 06:59:59 AM »

Round Hill or Cape Arundel?

« **Reply #32 on:** June 12, 2003, 07:11:11 AM »

Neither Round Hill nor Cape Arundel were around yet. Nor was Westchester, at least not in its current form.

« **Reply #33 on:** June 12, 2003, 07:13:28 AM »

Not Westchester, Maidstone, Rockaway, Leatherstocking, Cape Arundel or Round Hill. The golf course is in the MidWest.

The magnificent Chicago GC?

« **Reply #35 on:** June 12, 2003, 07:36:26 AM »

Nigel,

Chicago was already guessed and refuted.

I'm going to say Midlothian, host of the 1914 Open or Ridgemoor, designed by William Langford (of Lawsonia 'fame').

« **Reply #36 on:** June 12, 2003, 07:48:02 AM »

Scott - is Midlothian still in its same shape? I had thought it had been totally redesigned. Tom seemed to intimate that everything is still intact.

I'll say Glen View, but I'm not sure how the connection gets back to GCGC?

« **Reply #37 on:** June 12, 2003, 08:40:44 AM »

Sean,

Glen View sounds like a good anwswer, except for the GCGC connection. 1903 Open site, and Flynn designed (LI connection). Nice town name, too.

« **Reply #38 on:** June 12, 2003, 08:45:02 AM »

Not Midlothian, Ridgemoor or Glen View. The course is not in Illinois.

« **Reply #39 on:** June 12, 2003, 08:54:41 AM »

Milwaukee CC
Designed by Colt & Alison in 1894

« **Reply #40 on:** June 12, 2003, 09:01:38 AM »

that's probably it. although, it may be something closer to MacWood.

Inverness?

« **Reply #41 on:** June 12, 2003, 09:04:58 AM »

Sean, you beat me to saying Inverness.

« **Reply #42 on:** June 12, 2003, 09:13:44 AM »

Not Milwaukee or Inverness. The course has hosted both the Western Open and Am.

« **Reply #43 on:** June 12, 2003, 09:16:37 AM »

Skokie or Flossmoor?

« **Reply #44 on:** June 12, 2003, 09:21:11 AM »

i was going to guess Flossmoor. damn!

Maybe Detroit? or Lochmoor?

« **Reply #45 on:** June 12, 2003, 09:24:10 AM »

Skokie and Flossmoor are in IL, and Tom said it's not in IL.

« **Reply #46 on:** June 12, 2003, 09:27:27 AM »

Memphis CC?

« **Reply #47 on:** June 12, 2003, 09:31:18 AM »

not IL. hmm

Mayfield.
