Dear Mr. Redan,
Scarsdale GC is in my neck of the woods. They host one of the really fun local mid-am events, the Wilson Cup, a 36-hole, 52 team one day better-ball tournament.
My suggestion to you is to get your butt up here before you play and either walk the course or arrange to play a practice round. It's a hilly, tight property, and there are a fair amount of blind shots both to fairways and greens. The original course from 1898 was a nine holer laid out by Willie Dunn. In 1919, AW Tillinghast was brought in to redo the original nine and add nine more.
If I were preparing for a Senior Amateur qualifier, I would make it a point to see this course beforehand. I'd sign up to play with you but I'm just a babe of 52 years - too young
