You've gotta be Dave Roewer's brother. Tell him I said hello, he and I had a fun day last summer at Granville. He's a fine player and great company.

I resigned from my home club giving up nearly the entire initiation fee.  Great course but membership issues and very restrictive junior play made it the wrong club for me and my family.  I'm now a vagabond golfer--at least for the time being in this country.  My only membership is now in Scotland.

Dave, I grew up playing Maple Moor... that's where I learned the game and first broke 80.  The third hole was always my nemisis... right or behind the green is dead, and the cart path runs along the left hand side.  Pretty much have to hit the green to make par.  Always had a hard time with the drive on #5 as well (OB left, river right, with the gulley across the fairway).  How does the course look these days?

My current home course:

Makefield Highlands (2004)

Lions "Muni" Austin ,TX
1924
Designer, This is the best I can do

"One of several stories identifies Tom Penick, the older brother of legendary golf teacher Harvey Penick, as the main designer. Before he became head pro at Lions from 1928-61, Penick was an Army road engineer in Europe during World War I. His background of building roads and water drainage systems lends some credence to the story.

Another theory has architect John Bredemus as the original designer. Golf historian Frances Trimble writes in her book that Bredemus, a civil engineer, was designing holes at Austin Country Club when Lions was being built and says she’s “99% certain” that he was involved with Lions design.Others think Bredemus and Penick worked on it together."

How could a course be built and nobody knows the architect?

Big, deep bunkers. Really fun. Didnt one of the highschool seniors tear it up one year? 64ish? Was it Mathew Rosenfeld-UT?

Many of these courses would be great additions to the My Home Course section of the website.

Hey Tom,

Nice to see you here! Does this mean that the real estate deal that was going to bulldoze Normandie fell through? All most done with this year?

Greenbriar Hills Country Club, St. Louis, MO
est 1926

Ron Pritchard did a lot of redesign some years ago and we are finishing up a complete bunker renovation project headed up by Craig Schreiner.

Just joined last summer; before that I was a public course vagabond considering either Gateway National (Keith Foster) or Aberdeen Golf Club (Gary Kern) as my "home" courses.

I am pretty sure I heard the municipality killed it, but I could be wrong.
