	Shinnecock
		Shinnecock's pure and uncluttered landscape is one of the most compelling in all of golf.
		Willie Dunn's 12 hole course opened in 1892 and two years later, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club joined The Country Club in Brookline, Newport CC in Rhode Island, Chicago Golf Club, and St. Andrews in New York as a charter club in the Amateur Golf Association of America (later re-named the United States Golf Association).
		With the increase in train travel and with the club unable to acquire insurance to handle the doubling crossing of the road and the train tracks, the club had little alternative but to purchase additional land to the north and to forgo the portion of the course that lay to the south of the road.

		Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton, N.Y. One of the questions of golf design that had long nagged me was why William S. Flynn, when he totally remodeled Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in 1929-1930, retained its Redan hole, now the par-3 seventh.
		The proof is in Flynn's sixth hole at Shinnecock Hills, a long dogleg-right par 4 with alternate fairways and a pond in a hollow well short of the green.
		On Shinnecock's sixth, except for a retention pond well short of the green, Flynn substituted sand dunes for the lagoons of the original, but otherwise his design, and the options of play, are clearly copies of the Macdonald & Raynor Channel Hole, although he always intended it as a long par 4.

		Twenty-one-year-olds John Shippen and Oscar Bunn (a Shinnecock Indian), both of whom had honed their skills under the tutelage of Shinnecock pro Willie Dunn (he had since left the club for the head job at Ardsley Country Club where he had designed the course), were entered in the field.
		Dunn, the club’s former professional, struggled to an uncharacteristic 87 in the second round for a 36-hole total of 165.

		Having finished his round, a guest at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club retired to the clubhouse, eager to sit back, relax, and watch the sporting event of interest that afternoon, a seemingly simple routine that was abruptly put to rest when the man was told it was not possible.
		While so many modern golf developers insist upon clubhouses of granite and glass, virtual monuments to obnoxiousness, the members at Shinnecock are quite content with their cedar shingles that appear even more quaint by their weather-beaten look.
		The trim is white, the appearance tidy, and the clubhouse serves as a fitting testament to this golf club.

		It was five months before Pavin's return to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, the site of his greatest victory, of the single shot that defined him, and the onslaught already had begun.
		Shinnecock didn't seem all that friendly to Pavin on his first shot of the first round, when he drove into an unplayable lie in the native fescue and had to take a drop.
		In the Tiger Woods Era in golf, with longer, tighter course setups and ridiculously tucked pins, Pavin's bump-and-run style and his ability to move the ball both directions has gone the way of the balata ball.
