LINKS GOLF AND OLD MAC
CREIGHTON FARMS
Creighton Farms lies in the far western suburbs of DC and opened as a Ritz Carlton community. The Ritz imprinter is now gone but a very well maintained and attractive golf course remains. The rolling hills leading down to winding creeks makes this area of Virginia ideal for golf. Having grown up in D.C., I [...]
CHRIS HUNT”S PHOTO OF THE WEEK-9
So I haven’t been to Brancaster or Birkdale, but Rye gets my vote as coolest course in England, despite some snootiness, the blind shots (like here at the par-4 13th), and those crazy and singular ankle-breaker, sleeper-built, modified ha-ha walls to be found around about a third of the greens. A particularly fine playing surface means the grounds [...]
COORECRENSHAW.COM
Those of us who are big fans of Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw have long bemoaned the firm’s lack of a website. No more. http://www.coorecrenshaw.com/ is a the firm’s sophisticated and elegant new home on the interwebs, full of information and pictures on their current and past projects. Matt Varney, developed the site for the [...]
PETE DYE GOLF CLUB- FRONT NINE
I traveled up to Pete Dye Golf Club deeply skeptical about its lofty perch near the top of Golf Week’s modern rankings (#4). I have long admired Pete’s work, but a could a course in the mountains of West Virginia that took sixteen years to build really be better than Friars Head, Ballyneal and Chambers [...]
CYPRESS POINT – BACK NINE
For everyone on the soggy East Coast:
The back nine at Cypress Point is about as good a nine as there is in golf, but to me it is also the most beautiful landscape that I have ever spent time in. We were blessed to tour the back nine in the evening of a spectacular, early [...]
PUNCHBOWL PRODUCTS
Punchbowl Golf is proud to present a series of new posters created from Connecticut’s state archive of aerial photographs. Taken by the Fairchild Aerial Survey Company in the spring of 1934 and painstakingly remasters in the highest resolution possible, we currently offer Seth Raynor’s original Country Club of Fairfield, Charles Banks’ Tamarack Country Club, A.W. [...]
C.H.’S PHOTO OF THE WEEK- BETHPAGE
To my mind, the Black Course at Bethpage will always stand as the protypical ‘head-and-shoulders pattern’ golfing venue, and this particular signal to me here is bearish, both for what is done to the psyche of the duffer and how the shot requirements fail to be as varied as they might (long, straight, high…miss, flop). This example of [...]
BETHPAGE
The New York Times trots out the Burbeck v. Tillinghast debate in anticipation of the U.S. Open at Bethpage. There is also a video with Rees Jones, “the Open Doctor.” So if you can’t wait for your Rees hype, feel free to watch. Ironically considering the arteicle in wich the video is embedded, the host [...]
