I think these are brilliant photos because they capture the elusiveness of the New Course. It is possibly the most unmemorable significant course I have played, yet there is no denying its quality. What is it about the New Course that makes it find its way into the Top 100 UK rankings yet nobody would ever suggest that you play it? Before the alterations, most would have directed you to the Eden. I've played the New several times, yet I cannot remember it in the way I can many lesser courses.
It's good to see one or two of the Troon holes that rarely get into the coffee-table books, such as 12 which had such an important effect on Calcavecchia's Open. It, like the New Course, is so flat that it's very difficult to photograph well. Most photos (specially mine) make the Postage Stamp seem impotent. Yours begin to show the mischief.
