This angle is looking towards the clubhouse with the station on the left and the town at the
back right. The first ever Open Championship was held here in 1860 and was won by Willie Park of
Musselburgh with a score of 174 over 36 holes. (3 rounds of 12 holes.) A cairn just out of shot to
the right marks the original first tee, a par 6 of 578 yards, the green of which is still in use as
the present day 16th.

This is a wider view. In the top left of both the above photos the white curved roof of the new
Prestwick air traffic control centre can be seen just to the right of the current centre, Atlantic House.

This is the greenkeeper's compound and from this angle you get a very clear view of the terrain and
contours of the course. That narrow strip of green land with bunkers in it running left to right
across the middle of the picture between the fenced area and the hill with the green and bunker on
it is a fairway. And yes, it IS about 6 feet wide... This is golf as it is meant to be played.
