I’m looking for pictures from the ground from the now-closed Center Valley Golf Course taken while it was open. If anyone has any pictures or video I would be grateful for anything I can get.
I develop golf courses for the GSPRO golf simulator software and I’m currently building Center Valley Golf Course. I’m excited to bring it back to life and imagery from the course helps quite a bit to make sure I capture details that cannot be seen from current and historical satellite imagery.
Also, if anyone happens to have contact with the family of the famous Center Valley golf starter Joe Candia, I would appreciate a chance to connect. Joe was 100 years old at the time the course closed and was still announcing players on the first tee over a loud speaker. We enjoyed this very nice touch at the course, and I’d like to recreate it for the simulator version. I’m looking for good color headshots of Joe so I can make an animated 3d model of him near the first tee. If I can get any clean audio of him speaking, I’ll use AI to recreate his voice to make an announcement when players reach hole 1.
Thank you!

    • Day 23: did the yardstick putting drill for a while. Checked set up in the mirror - need to get those hands more vertical. 
    • PGA didn’t make Scottie their golden boy. He made his self number one by beating everybody that showed up, including Rahm, Bryson and all the other ones that were with the PGA and left. PGA offered them a way back, Koepka took it and Reeds on his way back. 
    • Day 43 (20 Apr 26) - Day spent helping with golf team conference tournament, did get in some swings with the Pw after I got home.  
    • Day 12, April 20.  I spent the better part of an hour practicing various putting, primarily within 10'.   I finished with a 4' drill, the double around-the-world (eventually).  That is, set down 12 coins around the cup at 4', all face up.  Go around the clock.  Make the putt?  Turn the coin over (if it's heads-up) or pick it up (if tails up).  Count the total putts needed to sink all 24 (two from each station).  I took 48 total putts, not great, even given how bad my putting is, but is a wake-up call.  I hope to add to my schedule a lot more time to practice (period) and also putting.   For context, 37 total putts on this drill is about the 18 handicap baseline, and as someone aiming to get his handicap into the single digits in the coming months, making another 4' putt per round would go a decent way ... or even better, getting my 4' putt average under 65% (the bogey baseline).  It'd be great to even get up to 80% (scratch baseline) of course. Also, to clarify yesterday's comment, when I "went for it in two" on that par-5, the "it" I was going for in two was the green, not the boundary fence, despite where the ball ended up. 😕 
    • Day 243 4-20 wrist arch in downswing and some flow drills. Worked on some hip/chest sepeation in backswing. Used mirror and recorded. Foam balls.
