Some more Virginia Beach Bayville DGC est. 1977 Archology. The recent Tropical Storm Helene surfaced another artifact. From what I've been told, the realignment at Bayville was a result of baskets and tees being too close to each other, a safety issue. Today, some fairways still feel like their on top of each other.
First photo a wooden marker surfaced, seen for the first time by me, what would of been original short tee #11.
2nd photo looking up the fairway #11 the long basket is near the Christmas tree, I've seen the old anchor, but not this year, likely sand has shifted over it. To the left is current #9 short basket, former #11 short. Just to give you an idea how compact the course is, off to my left is current #8 long basket, former 10 long. Behind me left current short #8. Directly behind me former 10 short pin and anchor, still surfaced today. I would be teeing #11 within #10 basket C1. Just behind the tree you can see current #15 short basket. Before you get their your crossing current #9 fairway, and #15 long basket C2.
3rd photo this wooden marker I've always have seen it. Former #12 short tee, current #10 short tee.
4th photo looking down the fairway #10/12. Long Tee former #12 is about 40 feet back, can't find a marker. Current #10 long off left shoulder at a 45' degree angle about 25 feet back. Down Fairway on the right past cedar trees hidden is #10 short basket, former #12 long basket. The former #11 long basket would be within C2. Left Center behind trees you can barely see current 10 long basket. The former #12 short basket would of been hooked to the left behind the trees. The open fairway in the background left to right is current #14. The yellow basket to the right is short current #9, and former #11.
