Well researched video. The original route to get to Blackrock cottages was along an extension of South Beach straight past where the clubhouse now stands. The edge of the route is the reason for a prominent slope on the practice putting green. Also, until the 1960's there was a small fishermans cottage close to Blackrock house, that was used to hang nets. It's removal was not received well with some members, and it must have been an interesting hazard for the 3rd tee shot. The stone flooring can still be seen, if you know where to look.

One glaring hole in the research. It’s Greer Garson, not Greer Carson.

The postage stamp hole doesn't look like a stamp, as the video states. It's simply a very small target to hit, and the subject of a colorful metaphor. I hope most of us don't need to be told who Greer Garson was, either.

postage stamp is slang for something tiny (at least here in Scotland) nothing to do with the shape at all.

I like the House a lot, I wish it was mine, or at least 1/2 of it. If it was on Augusta property it would have been removed years back, I like that it is part of Royal Troon, and stayed as the tract grew to 18 holes.

It's not called the postage stamp because it looks like a postage stamp. It was called a postage stamp due to its size back in the day and that has stuck.

Greer Garson was my great aunt (we called her aunt Eileen as that was her first name) I was very young at the time but our family was lucky enough to see Arnold Palmer win the Open there in 1962. Fun fact, there is actually a secret entrance to a crawlspace behind the bookcase on the west wall and down there is a very old photo album with a picture of me writing this comment because I made the whole thing up. Enjoy the Open everyone!
