Location:      Somewhere in northern New England

JNUG Design:   Dana Staples

Acknowledgements:   Although I've never met Jay Johnson & Scott
                    Chesney, I hope they will not mind my
                    appropriation of ideas, objects and
                    backgrounds.  Also thanks to all the other
                    great object designers.

Bayside Country Club is the first of a series of fictional courses
which could be located in New England.  As we all know, the
glaciers of the Ice Age produced a rather harsh terrain throughout
coastal New England.  The fictional developers of these fictional
courses were to cheap to really smooth out the land (even in areas
where greens were to be located).  As a result, careful observation
of the terrain and shots which end up very close to the pin are
really essential to good scores.

Looking back over this course, I realize that I've broken most of
the rules of good design - a 368 yard par 3, etc., but, the course
is fun to play.  Several of the holes require some planning before
addressing the ball, since a full power drive or overswing will
normally put the ball out of bounds.

The course is a Par 78 and is approximately 8020 yards long from
the Pro tees.

This course, and each of my future courses will contain one unique
feature.  For Bayside, the club's membership grew too large to
accommodate everyone's desired tee times.  Hence, lights were added
to allow for play to continue at night.  The towers supporting the
lights add some challenge to several shots.

I hope you enjoy playing Bayside as much as I did designing it.  If
so, you might also like Lakeview Golf Club, my second design.

I would welcome any comments or suggestions...
