 I see that the answer is in Mike Hendren’s topic. That’s funny.

Was this short par 3 part of the original routing?  Which hole was added to allow this hole to be removed?  Presumably the current 17 was 16, played to the short 17th, then 18?

Dan,


Have a look at the article written by the USGA.  Little 17 is a relic of the Fowler design.  The sketch in the article shows the proposed new Thomas holes over the old Fowler layout.

When I zoom in on that second pic, it almost looks like old time GCA'er Shivas aka Dave Schmidt.  Does he wear glasses?
