More from Yale. No. 6. The left greenside bunker is not in the '34 aerial. No. 2, the little finger in the bunker is in the '34. In a contemporary write-up, 2 green is described as "natural" and "close to the cape type." 6 greensite was built up 6 feet during construction of the course. #SethRaynor
Some recent photos from Yale. No. 9 and No. 7. It looks like there is good turf cover on all the greens. The original plan was for the course to open in the summer of '26. I have heard no different. Bunkers seem to fit with '34 aerial. #SethRaynor #CBMacdonald #GolfArchitecture #YaleGolfCourse
#SethRaynor died on this day in 1926. He was in Palm Beach, Fla. most likely to give a last look at the Palm Beach Winter Club which opened a few weeks later, as well as the land for the proposed Craigin Park development that never materialized. Both were Paris Singer projects.
The wildly undulating fairway that is the 6th hole of Fishers Island Club. #fishersisland #SethRaynor #Golfcoursearchitecture
