Mike, you ignorant slut!
I am not even sure we know that much. First, it looks like a third grader drew it, second, its hard to fathom arrangements in airplane view from human eye perspective. My guess is he had some version of the CBM maps and just made the simplified drawing from those.
Every article and drawing has a purpose. The blueprint for example was to figure out (or depict) what was designed on the ground.
The newspaper article is trying to give a broad audience some understanding of the topic in limited space. They probably only wanted to show a general layout, so I wouldn't even bother trying to decipher if the donut hole was there or not.
BTW, one of our off line friends, when he is sending David mean emails, has mentioned to use in emails that he had heard the 18th green had moved closer to the water to accommodate the new clubhouse location. Not sure if that is true, or even if he is sure it is true, but it might be worth studying those maps and aerials with that in mind, to see if it helps us better understand the clubhouse issue.
IMHO, if 1 and 18 are different, and moved some way, it would pretty well disavow the notion that CBM would be reserving that for clubhouse, unless we think a cash strapped operation would build holes in its way, only to be moved later. Similarly, I think extending nine only after the new clubhouse was built suggests the site near the INN was the original planned site.
