So, zu James Barbers Anlage 'Thistle Dhu' (Pinehurst ~1919) habe ich noch eine "Bahnenbeschreibung" aufgetrieben...

Beitrag #6 weiter oben zeigt wahrscheinlich Bahn 4, Blickrichtung vom Abschlag zum Ziel. Hierzu heißt es:
Zitat:
At the 4th hole, which is twenty-eight feet long, you are presented with a new problem. To have your ball remain near the cup it is necessary to make use of a two-cushion carom. As you stand on the tee you have before you, at the left, a clay bunker with a grass trap. Immediately behind the trap is a high bank of clay. The proper play on this hole is to have your ball roll up the right hand bank in such a manner that on its descent it will roll up slightly on the left bank (the bank behind the grass trap). It will then roll toward the hole. The player new on the course will think the proper shot is to make use of the valley and the right hand bank alone. He will invariably find himself tucked away in the wooden bunker at the left hand side of the green placed there for this purpose.
Edward H. Wiswell / Popular Science Monthly / August, 1919
