This is kinda silly, I was playing around with Google Maps Streetview feature around Sedgley Woods (Fairmount Park) and stumbled across this little dozy.
Google Maps Streetview (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Reservoir+Drive+and+Smith+Day+Nursery+Drive,+Phi ladelphia,+PA&sll=39.987117,-75.194893&sspn=0.018545,0.037379&layer=c&ie=UTF8&ll=39.986492,-75.19397&spn=0.009273,0.01869&z=16&cbll=39.982429,-75.193646&panoid=gQ5oeOSoG7hMPflvfyFgeg&cbp=1,212.62304908523038,,0,11.712342778215543)
Anyway, maybe this is a stretch, but it be interesting to see what else Streetview might have caught around other some of the other DG courses out there. I know Streetview is still pretty limited, but it's not just used around Philly.
:D

That is so cool! I've never used street view before. I guess I'll put off studying for another hour!

Here's another hole on Sedgley Woods: Google Maps Streetview (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Reservoir+Drive+and+Smith+Day+Nursery+Drive,+Phi ladelphia,+PA&sll=39.987117,-75.194893&sspn=0.018545,0.037379&layer=c&ie=UTF8&cbll=39.982062,-75.192239&panoid=7rwf2XER-yZ5vu8opsE_TA&cbp=1,575.9468521258788,,0,5.503425708366163&ll=39.98613,-75.192554&spn=0.009273,0.022745&z=16) and if you continue East down the road, you'll see the 1st hole and a full parking lot. Must have been a tourney.

It's a real nice course. If you're ever in the 'Nati you should make a trip there.
That picture is of a guy walking up to hole 1.

I played it years ago when I lived in Cincinnati and was just starting to play. From what I remember it was pretty good.
