@Hainesy76 @tullfescue @AnthonyPioppi I don’t doubt the authenticity of the tweet photo by why colorize it. Fake.

@mdvessely @LangfordMoreau Nice work. Hard to tell from the photo but looks like it also needs more widening of the sand area on the right tied into the level of the fairway. Keep it up.

@LangfordMoreau @wakondagrounds @WakondaClub @IowaGolfAssn A no brainer.

@JoshuaWCarroll Where was the cup?

[Dan Moore Golf @DanMooreGolf]

@BriancgcsBrian Making the Langford Moreau shine. Always one of the best conditioned courses in Chicagoland!

@TylerRaeDesign @JimRyanGCDesign @WakondaClub @wakondagrounds @ToroGolf @wadsworth_golf I walked the finished version tonight. After months of looking at dirt last summer, it looks better than I imagined. Kudos to Tyler, Jim and Dane.

@dgblum @TylerRaeDesign @PCCTourney @wakondagrounds @WakondaClub @JimRyanGCDesign @wadsworth_golf @ProAngleOhio Thrilled to have worked as Langford historical consultant assisting Tyler Rae and Jim Ryan’s terrific work restoring this course and showcasing Langford architectural brilliance.

@putt4dough24 The old principals nose bunker protected the 10th green on the pre-Raynor course at CGC. That hole and that feature was new in 1910, added by Dave Foulis after Walter Travis criticized the course following the 1909 Amateur.

[Dan Moore Golf @DanMooreGolf]

@JoshuaWCarroll @nle_golf Our plan is to restore to what was built as historically accurate as we can determine. There is no evidence of a bunker left on the aerial from late 1930’s. So we are not going to put sand below the green on the left.

[Dan Moore Golf @DanMooreGolf]

@dgblum The before after views of every hole will be amazing. Every hole is being dramatically improved from tees, fairway widths, all new LM a bunkers, green expansions and 5 new greens. Visuals, strategy, playability for all skill levels!

[Dan Moore Golf @DanMooreGolf]

@LangfordMoreau @LawsoniaGolf @JoshuaWCarroll Looks like the recent rain has helped a lot. Can’t wait to get to work on the front 9 bunkers this Fall!

[Dan Moore Golf @DanMooreGolf]

@LangfordMoreau @kurteverett The routing of the holes is very much intact so typical LM shot values. The greens were blown up 10-15 years ago and original bunkers are mostly erased. But still an enjoyable walk with some quite good land.

[Dan Moore Golf @DanMooreGolf]

@dgblum @WakondaClub @wakondagrounds @TylerRaeDesign @JimRyanGCDesign Note the green expansions on both greens. Sand will extend further, its only half finished in those photos. A very cool feature tied into some cool mounding on left side of 1 green.

[Dan Moore Golf @DanMooreGolf]

@golf69ski88 @Sand_Valley The most varied and interesting terrain at Sand Valley. Wonderful views between holes with glimpses of the Sand Valley course. The width off the tee is complemented by land forms that narrow the effective landing areas. Some of the greens were effectively quite narrow as well.

[Dan Moore Golf @DanMooreGolf]

@cdpgolf1 @TurfSimpsonR @putt4dough24 @BPBlackMetal It would be more accurate to say Colt revised Barker’s original routing before the course was built. No evidence they worked together. Also not clear if Ross followed a plan or did his own thing. Regardless a very exciting development given the history and architects involved.
