Sebonack Featured on Cover of NY Golf

   This season's New York Golf features a beautiful photo of an approach to one of the seaside holes at Sebonack Golf Club.

An interesting note from the article:

    'As for what he learned from Doak, Nicklaus says, " I think there's one thing here that's sort of different than what we would have done in our company. The greens have little rolls and imperfections. Tom likes to have little imperfections. I like that too, but I didn't know how to get it done. That's one of the things I learned from Tom. You don't have to be perfect. Not-so-perfect is sometimes better.'


And a summation:

     'In the end, Pascucci's decision on course designers may have been his best. "What I hoped for was to have Tom's minimalist's approach on the site, coupled with Jack's stategy as the greatest golfer ever, and fashion a course of beauty and a test of golf skills, " he says. My motive was to get the best 18 holes of pure golf out of this property. I have to say after watching them work together, in my opinion we could not have gotten any more for my money than I got.'


"...I don't believe it is impossible to build a modern course as good as Pine Valley.  To me, Sand Hills is just as good as Pine Valley..."    TOM DOAK  November 6th, 2010

Gene, What hole number is the pictured hole?

Could you describe the fifth and sixth for me?

It sounds like Jack has been eating the cottage cheese... but don't tell Barney! ;) ;D ::)
No actual golf rounds were ruined or delayed, nor golf rules broken, in the taking of any photographs that may be displayed by the above forum user.

Boy am I excited to see and hear more about this course.

Obviously, an addition befitting of the neighborhood.
