More Thistle Dhu At Pinehurst

There are some splendid historic photos of previous putting/miniature/Himalayas style courses in the Pinehurst area in this short new video showing Pinehurst's recently unveiled putting course. As exciting as the 2014 unveiling of the course will be for the U.S. Opens, wouldn't it be great if the return of a fun putting course influenced more clubs and courses to install "fun" places like pitch and putts or Himalaya style putting greens?



Also, there is a longer video detailing the moving of Putter Boy, the resort's iconic logo that was designed in 1912 and which Donald Ross felt so strongly about he gave special orders on its placement. Putter Boy is now part of the Thistle Dhu course and the resort posted this item explaining the move.  There's also a nice GCA thread with some early reviews and an image of another fun putting course that used to be in Pinehurst.
