Joe, that would compete with the day we spent together at the Philadelphia Library doing separate research on microphiche machines next to each other about 18 years ago or so... ;D

Valley CC opens with a par 5, the No. 1 stroke hole. It is fairly straight and plays a bit uphill with a sloped fairway tee to green. I think your better player will view it as a birdie opp as it tips out at 524 yards. You know you’re at an old school course when you arrive at the green! A deep bunker left, and another one right are no bargain. It looks to my semi-trained eye to be beautifully executed cut-and-fill technique.

Yes, I do like how the green is benched into the hill in phases with the bunkers. Looks like it could be in England. Thanks for posting Joe.
