Play where angels tread theme going on here or just coincidence? I bet there are other similar logos I missed.

Initially I thought so on Baltusrol and Olympic.  But the more I stare at the first, the more I consider it a paid homage to Mr. Baltus Roll's very nice mustache. ;-)

Winged Foot...straight-up Icarus on that one.

P.S. - I have no idea if Mr. Roll had a mustache.  But being the 1830s, perhaps it's a safe bet.

Good insights by Swede and Bama.

The first three clubs mentioned had founding members with common backgrounds: upper class people of the late 1800s and early 1900s who were for the most part college educated. Thus, they would be well versed in classic Greek and Roman history and culture as was common for college studies of the era.

The Olympic Club actually involves more than just golf. Founded in 1860 in San Francisco, its current members are active in 19 sports. The original golf course was opened in the early 1900s. Here's a video history of the Olympic Club

The other two clubs had A.W. Tillinghast as course designer. Baltusrol opened in 1895 - with its two courses completed by 1918 - and Winged Foot in 1921. According to the Winged Foot website, the club logo is very similar to that of the New York Athletic Club, whose members helped found WF.

Yes, and it would depend on whether you were going Greek or Roman.

I have always suspected that Baltusrol was copied from the Misquamicut Club in Rhode Island. Misquamicuts first pro won one of his four US Opens there.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
