Course Changes Improve Golf Layout For Season Opener
The golf course, praised for its early season condition, underwent committee driven updates. Dr. Schroeder, Walter Heffernan, and J. H. Pember moved several tees and greens, shifting the fourth green back about 100 yards to a 225 yard par three, relocating the fifth tee west, and reassigning No. 1 as No. 5 temporarily with a new green planned northwest of the old site. The 6th tee was moved west, and the third green temporarily plays as No. 6, lengthening but easing play by moving away from trees.
