Two of the courses named to this list are places where Carl Kauffmann won US Amateur Public Links titles. The first was in 1927 at Ridgewood outside Cleveland, Ohio, and his second win was in 1928 at Cobb's Creek in Philadelphia. He completed the "trifecta" at Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri. The "Schenley Sphinx" is one of only three men to win the same USGA title three years in a row. Do you know who the other two are? https://www.golfdigest.com//muny-golf-courses-deserve-face
