Name That Bridge
« on: November 08, 2014, 09:02:06 PM »
This is my first attempt at uploading pictures onto GCA.  After some of the recent commentary on bridges, I thought I'd throw these out there.  Most are not terribly difficult to identify, but there are a few that might be tricky:

#1: Lost Dunes



#2: Olympia Fields North



#3: Brae Burn



#4: Victoria National



#5: Greyhawk Talon



#6: Crooked Stick



#7: Peachtree



#8: Valhalla



#9: Oak Hill East



#10: Victoria National



#11: Streamsong Blue

I can't add to the existing guesses, but can add one of the more unique golf course bridges in existence

Is this Himalayan Golf Club?  They had four or five awesome bridges!

Is #9 Colonial?  It's been a long time since I've been there.  And #10 might be Dallas National.

#11:

Someone got confused trying to implement a Pratt or a Howe truss, which both function excellently for this application, and provided neither.
