Up the Creek

As the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion approaches, there will be a lot of focus on the history of golf in Philadelphia.  To that end, a group of local men who met on a golf architecture message board are leading an effort to restore Cobbs Creek G.C.

Among the interesting little known facts I learned from the article:  the driving range on City Ave, adjacent to Cobbs Creek, was once an anti-aircraft battery that was meant to protect Philadelphia from Soviet attacks.
