SOME NOTES ON THE BAGHDAD COUNTRY CLUB  

     Course Name: Baghdad Country Club    
     Location:    Baghdad, Iraq
     Length/Par:  3817-3956-7773 / 36-37-73
     Designer:    Fictional               
     Difficulty:  Moderate to difficult
     Source:      My warped imagination
     JNUG Design: Jay Johnson (aka "Jaybird")
     Acknowledgement: To Scott Chesney for the "loan" of many
                      of the trees from his Desert Highlands
                      course. If you're going to steal an idea, 
                      steal one that works.
       First of all, this is a long course containing five(5)
     par 5s. Secondly (the good news), you can whale away on
     your shots to your heart's content since you can't
     receive any penalty strokes: there's no water and no out-
     of-bounds. Now for some bad news: there is plenty of sand.
       For those of you playing in the Khomeni Cup Match, we
     have some announcements:
       1) Do not wander north off the course. The government has
          chosen to locate a mobile SAM site in that direction 
          "to protect our honored guests and the American players
          from possible air attacks.".
       2) President Hussein has generously allowed students from
          one of the local universities (named after the former
          King of Egypt, King Farouk) time off to attend the
          matches and act as a gallery. Ignore them.
       3) Ahab of Ahab's Camelot has generously donated a number
          of energy-efficient golf carts for use by the honored
          competitors and the Americans too. Please avoid hitting
          the carts with errant tee shots: it gives them an
          attitude.
 
          A yardage card for the course is given below. Enjoy.

         I welcome feedback of any kind on this or any of the
       courses I've put out there. I do ask that you be specific
       - telling me that a hole (or even an entire course) sucks
       doesn't help much unless you specify how it sucks. But
       hey, you've got the JNUG Designer, so feel free to make
       the changes you feel are needed.
         I also welcome suggestions as to courses that you want
       to see done and this applies to types of trees that will
       be appearing in future TREESn files.
