What Would You Name A Golf Course? Really. Someone Wants to Know.
You ever wonder how a course gets a name like Mirimichi? Or something like Baltusrol? Well, that's like my Stonehenge of golf. How courses get named always makes me curious. Now, though, Baltimore County Golf in my home state wants your help in re-naming a facility.
Baltimore County Golf announced today the opportunity for greater Baltimore area golfers to help rename Timonium-based Longview Golf Course, which is undergoing a $2.9 million renovation. Potential names can be submitted online by visiting Baltimore County Golf’s Web site at BaltimoreGolfing.com/Longview.
Now, let's not go all Colbert here and have the golf course named after me. It's not a popularity contest!
But, let's come up with some pretty awesome names and have some fun with this.
To inspire you a bit, here's a look at the photos of the renovation as it is happening.

The Links at Murdertown. That should scare everyone away, right?

Don’t name it something silly like “Eagle Ridge” — when the course is far away from any natural eagle habitat and birdies are hard earned on par 5’s because of roller coaster greens.
“Windy Ridge” would have been a better name because of the way the winds howl there in the fall, winter and spring.
Oriole Hills?
