Actually at the Newport GC.
Nine holes!?
It was won by a Horace Rawlins with a score of 173 over 36 holes. Would
that be all at once or over several days? Four rounds of 9 holes in one
day would be fairly boring I would think!
They didn't play 72 holes until 1898 when Fred Herd won with a score of
328 at the Myopia Hunt Club, Hamilton WA. (A bit short sighted for a
golf club name I would think).
They played again at Myopia Hunt Club in 1901, and 1905, and 1908, and
then got bored with it...they haven't played there since!
