Course modernization, course beautification, cart path pavement...
If you belong to an old dead guy course, and have a few hours to kill, ask for the opportunity to read your club's minutes from the early 60's...I did it today and almost got sick!
It started in 1959 when we created a Course Modernization Committee, hired Wm Gordon, and started taking out bunkers, including every one that was behind a green, flattened some greens, and reduced the size of the remaining bunkers and put in sand faces.
In 1962 we allocated $700 to buy 1400 white pines at 50 cents each, it was included in the minutes under Course Beautification.
And to top it off, it seemed like every month we approved another new cart path.
I know many courses did the same thing. Just kind of hard to read, you know?
