@shanebacon I watched him curl in the winning putt on 18 at Sleepy to take the Ike. We gasped. Incredible.

@idkhoosier Hudson National ⛳️

@JustinRayGolf FWIW: 7-shot swing on the back nine at the 1966 U.S. Open at Olympic.

Standing on 10 tee Billy Casper was 7 shots back of Arnold Palmer.

Palmer went 4 over on the back, Casper shot 3 under to force the playoff, and nipped Arnie the next day to claim his second Open title.

@lipouts Chicago GC!

@BlackLegend42 @NOTdaRealGil @BlackLegend42 Have you played it recently since the renovation? I've heard it's a completely new course with all the trees gone, like an inland links. Sounds amazing.

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@NOTdaRealGil Fair play, I still love CCF but was actually just talking to the Tamarack pro last week, he was raving about the course post-reno. Haven't been in years but top of my list to get back to.

@shanebacon Guilty as charged, I think about my airport fit way more often than I used to, just trying to keep up! 🤣 #Top100 #T100

@TheGolfDivoTee Not a logo in sight.

Classy and classic ⛳️

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@GrahamParkgolf Great question Graham, mine would be:

1) Tommy winning the belt
2) Ouimet defeating Vardon and Ray
3) Jones completing the Grand Slam at Merion

(And if given two more… Hogan at Merion in ‘50 and Nicklaus at Augusta in ‘86)

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@pagolfhistorian Was thinking the same thing Dave. I have a tough time seeing Scottie playing much past age 40, Rory too…

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@LinksGems I’m the same way, I like the symmetry of one par-5 per nine.

Woodway CC (5 & 14) in Darien, CT - great Willie Park, Jr. design, hidden gem and one of the best in state, has hosted multiple Connecticut Opens and Ams.

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@TheGolfDivoTee Underrated indeed! 36 Tour victories, U.S. Open Champion, Vardon Trophy winner, and a runner-up to Hogan at Merion in ‘50. And a WWII veteran to boot. Legend.

@PatAllanac45858 @Top100Rick Hey Pat - check out 'Great Golf Memories', they make these display boards as well as other golf memorabilia gifts, great stuff

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@awhite805 @Top100Rick That's awesome! You'll love it, Ireland is a truly special place to play. I'm sure you've got a number of great courses on your radar, I would humbly suggest adding the following if possible: Waterville, Ballybunion, Tralee and Lahinch. Hit 'em straight!

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@MFox1214 @joe3jax @Top100Rick Yep the whole surface is magnetic so the coins stay perfectly stuck to the green felt, handsome look!

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@MFox1214 @Top100Rick @joe3jax is correct, got these at Great Golf Memories and they are awesome! Highly recommend their stuff

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@awhite805 @Top100Rick Old Head Golf Links in Kinsale, Ireland. One of the most visualling stunning courses you'll ever see. If you ever get the chance, play Old Head!

[Dave Klenk @DavidEKlenk1]

@TheeMitchAllen @Top100Rick Hi Mitchell - Check out 'Great Golf Memories' - they sell all sorts of golf display boards, gifts, etc. Highly recommend!
