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.

    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
    • Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
