Love it. Whenever I finish my man cave, I will have many pics like these hanging in there!

The photo on the first page of the guy with the beard... it looks like he's lining up his putt. That's what I think of when I picture golf history.

Imagine him watching you swing... "Git offa mah course!" Kinda creepy.

These old photos are neat. Lots of history. Thanks!

I don't play golf, I play at golf. There's a difference.

Now here's a golf swing! That's me taking a lesson from my dad who was a PGA Professional in Maine. July 2, 1958.

Thanks! I do. Now, years later, I wish I had paid a lot more attention to what he was telling me.

I hope you don't mind a modern view of a classic image. I suppose I can convert to black & white and pretend!

Harry Vardon teeing off at Fall River Country Club on October 20, 1900. The clubs is still there today, and is a few minutes away from my office. I absolutely love this picture (and hope to play there soon).

Love this one.  Note the water bucket and box of sand for making your tee.  Truly old school. :beer:

    • It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.
    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆
