"In 1922 Willie Park, the then internationally known British golfer and golf course designer, was brought to Lynchburg to appraise and view the existing golf facilities of an in-town Lynchburg club. His inspection made, Park chose to spend his day looking at all tracts of land surrounding the city of Lynchburg. Upon seeing the farmland on which Sholto was situated, Park concluded that the property was well-suited for a golf course and gave his enthusiastic recommendation for new, larger acreage and the site of Boonsboro Country Club was chosen. Having great respect for Park’s judgment, the local businessmen secured the old manor house along with a 300-acre tract of land in January of 1923, on which to build a proper golf course.
The next year, Willie Park was paid a fee of $1,000.00 for the first layout of the 18 hole course. For $500.00 another expert tried his hand at improvements and over the next three years much thought was given to the layout of the golf course. In 1927 Fred M. Findlay was invited to complete the design and layout, having established himself by designing the James River Course of the Country Club of Virginia, Farmington Country Club, and Blue Hills Golf Club in Roanoke. Findlay supervised the construction over the next two years and though several disastrous rains were encountered, handicapping construction, the course opened on July 1, 1929."
Fred is also mentioned in places in the Feature Interview with Richard B. Findlay from June this year. Fred was Alex Findlay's brother, I believe and thus Richard Findlay's great-uncle.
