Solow...thanks for waking memories of Putterham from around 1979 or 1980 for me.
Bells are commonplace in hilly New England.
Find me a course (Blueberry Hill, Allegheny Hills, Coudersport) in SW New York or NW Pennsylvania, designed by a dude with a drill and a dream and you'll find quirk. Courses that move through apple orchards...that's quirk. We have some decent courses, but perhaps are more proud of our quirk. And, we have a country club in Dunkirk, NY, called Shorewood, that has exposure to neither shore nor wood.
