JMorgan,
Please reread my post, I never said Tull was involved with this or any other Emmet designs. However, he was involved in some redesign long after Emmet had passed, I think it was in the last 60's. But, As for Tull not being involved in any orginal designs of Emmet, the bunkering on Emmet's courses sure became Tull-esque in the early 30's and less in the line of play.
Wayne,
I do not have anything about Flynn's work there. You do nto have Phillip Young - itis and trying to make every course a Tillinghast (or in this case Flynn) just becuase he used a mower there or removed a bunker?? Just kidding to all involved!!! ;D ;D
All kidding aside, that is a lot of money to be paid back then and I would love to know what he did or did not do?

There is a great images in the Hollins biography of one of the holes from this course.
It looks like a drop shot par three, perhaps the hole with the bethpage looking bunker surrounding the green.
I always really liked that picture. I have hoped someone would build something similar on a new course.

I'll ask Craig Disher if I can post his 1940 aerial of the course. I don't know the routing progression but I am guessing that the 6th hole was not a short par 3. There is no Principal's Nose bunker complex either. I do know that the 1st looked nothing like the current 7th at Walton Heath. I guess it would have to be the 7th on the New Course because the 7th on the Old Course at Walton Heath is a par 3. However, maybe the routing progression was changed. I haven't had a chance to study the old photograph in depth with Hollins's descriptions nor compare the 1940 aerial with a modern one. But I'll try.
JMorgan:
Former Walton Heath Old #7 was a short par 5.
