Ron Whitten on Shinnecock
MCirba:
Steve,
Short answer, Yes.
Although you asked the question originally over 10 years ago. ;)
Shinnecock has recently restored to the original William Flynn plans and yes, the two of them were involved.
Bill Brightly:
And Flynn did NOT retain the Redan. He dramatically changed it...
Carl Rogers:
On another note, the 4th at the Cascades COULD have been a Redan like hole, but probably would have been problematic. However, it is a longish downhill par 3, green canted to the left, but with a pretty sharp back to front slope with a steep drop off the back, bunker left and a bail out landing area short right. Going long on this hole risks OB on US Highway 220.
The 15th hole could have been a Redan, also.
Jon Cavalier:
Carl:
For point of reference, here's the 4th at Cascades.

Bill,
Are you talking about the recent changes? Or back in 1930?
