Belvedere Golf Club Hickory Tournament Photos

[Mike Hendren]

Fellow treehouse member Chris DeNigris and I played the sporty Belvedere Golf Club last year prior to the Kingsley Club event.  We finished our early morning round in time to see the hickory tournament participants off the first tee.  A few photographs (apologies for not knowing how to reduce the size):

Thanks, Michael. I never get tired ot seeing pictures of lovely Belvedere - and the sharp looking gents would've done Walter Hagen proud.

I've played a few new courses built on former, gently roamning farming.  Granted, none had the undulations of Belvedere (or of my new favourite Plainfield), but still -- it's where the rubber hits the road when it comes to a fundamental change from the old days, i.e. not one of those modern courses thought an elegant, containment-mounding-free course was good enough.

Bogey,

You weren't up there this weekend were you?

Is this from last year?  I recall there being a Hickory event at Belvedere during the Kingsley event last summer but there most certainly wasn't one there last weekend.
