There is more history involved with this course than Thomas and Tilly. The June 5th, 1920 edition of The American Golfer contained an article with the title, "Freaky, Freakier, Freakiest." The article contained a number of anecdotes about strange golf shots. This is one of them:
"Next November four years ago [1916], I was standing on the eighteenth green of the Spring Lake Golf and Country Club, Spring Lake, N.J., (this green has since been changed, but at that time it was in a hollow and was a blind hole), when a ball landed on the green and rolled into the cup. Waiting to see who had played it, it happened to be a friend of mine, Mr. Albert Burgesser of New York. While I was congratulating him on the shot, which I had never seen done in the years I had played there, another ball landed on the green, rolled into the cup. This time it happened to be President [Woodrow] Wilson, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and several Secret Service men. I took the opportunity of congratulating the President, and I believe he said it was the best shot he had ever made.”
