"The specifications were severe. An example being the requirement that the fairways were to be built in the same standard as the putting greens, with an elaborate watering system for both. The natural soil which was a loam, made the equal standard of grass possible. The design of the course was to present the best collection of two-shot holes in the country. I do not think there is a single other course anywhere which consists exclusively of holes which can be reached in two shots ... . It seems strange to a man ... to see a scorecard without a single five in the par score column."
