The most interesting line in the article was: “The sixteenth, which Clouser calls, “the feature hole in the original design,” was known as ‘Big Boy’ – a long par four over excellent terrain with strategic interest. It was abandoned and today exists as a thoroughfare between the new sixth and the aforementioned lousy seventh.” Do you think the green complex was where the current landing is for #7 given that’s around the corner of the tee box for the original #2?
I know exactly where everything is hah. I love the old 1/18 TOC homage the most. I have to go to Ames for work Monday. Maybe Ill drop by their old spots.
I am not into architecture, but this type of “geographical history” really intrigues me & I would totally go on your guided tour of the original holes!
Work detour. I give you OG 1 and 18 land.
Took a lot more pics. Need to review and process. Would be sick tonhave these back.
Where’s the Swilcan Bridge, or would it be the Story or Stange Bridge?
Very cool!
Three months, exactly 90 days until we descend on Des Moines, Ames, and the Iowa State Fair. Can’t wait to see everyone roll in.
Too much sleeve.
