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.
@@eccoexis1312 Yes, I picked up on that. There are still Garsons who are members at Troon
When I play here, I'll aim at the house to hit the fairway.

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.
I think when it was first created, it was a rectangle.
@@BornIn1500 That's not what the video said though, was it?
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.
I wonder who gets to live in that trailer park off of #9 and what they go for.
There is a single house in Augusta that refused to sell to ANC. @@pampoovey3281
Thank you for the fascinating piece of golf course history
The golf history in the UK goes back so far. I find it fascinating. Thanks for this video.
Wow, this is really interesting and a beautiful location to live with views across to the Isle of Arran.
I fitted the log burner in these houses was amazing to look out the window 🏴
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.
Thank you for great video. I have never heard of this!
great piece! never knew this, and it was great learning about Black Rock House...
I’d be paranoid about getting smacked by a golf ball every time I went in the garden
My girlfriend in college lived there. I stayed there for a week in 1977
I want to live there.
I understand why it seems strange but that kinda thing is completely normal here in Scotland.
Excellent video! Very informative and well researched!
Really well put together video
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!
What an excellent video.
Cool video
There is a house in the middle of the Fredericton Golf Course in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Cool
Greer Garson
It is Greer Garson not Carson. I know because I named my daughter after her.
Eccentricities matter. Contrast creates beauty.
I live local and it’s up for sale now
They had a for sale sign up during the open this year.
One half of Blackrock House has come on the market on Monday, so it is for sale for someone with lots of money.
1. The property is a “semi-detached”
2. It’s a railway, not a railroad
3. The driveway has not been glorified
Great video.
I believe it's
Greer Garson, not Carson who was its most famous resident.
Number 14 has just been sold for £1.5m, that's around $1.9m.
Black rock huh?
Hmmm 🤔
The Rock is actually half black , half Samoan.
Extremely interesting.
Colin Montgomerie was brought up here (South beach road)
Too bad he ever left there. He should have stayed. And kept his big mouth shut.
Scotland clearly has some unique courses
Her name was Greer Garson, not Greer Carson.
It's currently for sale
Garson, not Carson.
A house within a golf course,your easily pleased.
Her name is Greer Garson not Carson
It’s not a duplex, it’s 2 separate houses joined together
An idiot is two morons glued together.
What do you think the definition of a _duplex_ is?
How classy was that lady. Beautiful
A well researched video only to get the fckn postage stamp hole fact INFINITELY wrong. Tut tut.
Anybody have any predictions for this years Open Championship??
