The greatest rock festival that never was, about 54 years ago this week. Legal injunction caused the cancellation day before the event was to start. 30,000 people showed up not knowing what had happened. Cassandra Day Keith Angilly Lloyd Cole

I think many people outside of golf do not understand the vastness of the playing area. This is the field of Fenway Park, plus some seating, laid on top of 1 & 18 of the Old Course. Thanks to Michael Altobello for the graphic. Derek Duncan Lloyd Cole Geoff Shackelford

This is great news for Rhode Island golfers and those that golf in the Ocean State. Fun layout with the option to play all 9 holes as as par-3s, a genius idea. Christopher Girling Michael Vessely #Finest9s

Drone photos of Yale Golf Course from over the weekend. It has been a tough summer to grow grass in New Haven with rain fall well above average, combined with high heat and humidity. Shown are 9-11. More to come. Geoff Shackelford Christopher Girling Michael Vessely Bethpage Black Metal

More Yale: 3 with the massive bunker between the pond and what should be a Punchbowl green, 15-4-5, and 1-8, both covered, with a new back tee for 9 making the distance to the middle of the back tier, the only portion that should be green, about 250 yards. Christopher Girling Brookhart Twiggs

After 24 years, time for a new Club Glove. The first one served me extremely well. We went to Scotland (5 times), Northern Ireland, Ireland, Curacao, Thailand, Bermuda, Mexico, Holland, Bahamas, Mexico, Costa Rica and a ton of U.S. states. Christopher Girling

Here is a periodic reminder that all Biarritz greens were only intended to have the putting surface on the tier behind the swale. Whippoorwill 1931 drawing. Line is from middle of the tee to the middle of the green. 1940 aerial confirms Banks's intent. Christopher Girling Shaun Marcellus
