COURSE:   Butler National Golf Club 
 
DESIGN:   Designed in VGA for JNUG by Ted Maiden 
 
 
COMMENTS:  The only reference I had in designing this course was
the book "Golf Courses Of The PGA".  Where pictures were available,
I have tried to maintain the look.  The elevations were the hardest
item to deal with, as I had no information at all.  So, I have
attempted to give it an "Illinois" look.

There is a great deal of history here.  Course records are posted 
with legendary names like Sam Snead.  Formerly home to the Western
Open, this course will bring you to your knees quickly.  The rating
here is 76.9.

If Doral is the "Blue Monster", then surely, we can call Butler the
"Green Monster".  The fairways are wide, but you still must place the
ball off most tees.  Any trips off the fairway will usually cost you
a couple of shots.   
 
Like Scott Chesney and Jaybird, I have put forth within the limits of
the software, a supreme effort to remain religiously true to the actual
design of the real course.  Having played golf for over 35 years, I 
have a very deep love and respect for its principles and spirit of 
sportsmanship and I have tried to apply those qualities in delivering 
this course to the JNUG users.

My handle on the Accolade Bulletin Board (1-408-296-8800) is "Maker".

I am also on Prodigy. (NPNW54A).  I hang out in the JNUG section
(Other Games) of the Computer Club bulletin board.

I hope you enjoy Butler National G.C.  It's my first effort at a major,
nationally known course.  I encourage you to give me feedback on my 
design effort.  Please leave your constructive comments on one of the
above BBS's.
