Satellite Photos of The Blue Monster

Doral is called the Blue Monster because when it first was built back in 1960, people said that Alfred Kaskel was creating a “monster” in the middle of a swamp. When the course opened, it was known as the “Blue” course. With its swirling winds, water hazards and tough play, it soon became known as the “Blue Monster.”

The course originally was designed was Dick Wilson and later restored by Raymond Floyd.

Here are a few satellite images of the course. More after the jump.

What Courses In SE Michigan Have Closed or Are In Trouble?

I’m doing some research for a project and am wondering if those with an ear to the ground can tell me what courses have closed in Washtenaw and Livingston Counties over the last couple of years, or if any are currently thought to be in trouble. Contact me through the site form here.

Here’s what I think I know:

Hickory Woods (9 holes) - Closed
Hickory Sticks - Closed
Marion Oaks - Closed
Ann Arbor Country Club - In trouble and looking for a savior
Ann Arbor City Courses - perhaps up for sale
Lake In The Woods - ?

Why Is Doral Called The Blue Monster?

It’s not because the course sports a big blue wall. That’s the Green Monster, and it’s in Boston.

Doral is called the Blue Monster because when it first was built back in 1960, people said that Alfred Kaskel was creating a “monster” in the middle of a swamp. When the course opened, it was known as the “Blue” course. With its swirling winds, water hazards and tough play, it soon became known as the “Blue Monster.”

Basic Golf Shirt Review

Basic Golf Shirt Grade: A Teacher’s Comments: It would get an A plus, but it’s too “hip” for this 40-something guy. (Is “hip” even a term anymore?) The Basic Golf Shirt isn’t. Basic, that is. Rather, it’s a high quality, reasonably priced—and dare I say…
