1¾«- Municipal Golf Links Municipal Golf Links, also known as Henry Stambaugh Golf Course, is an actual course located in Youngstown, Ohio. As it is my home course, and is located only minutes from my home, it is natural that I should make my own version of it. Through its various stages of completion, I have been surprised with how closely it was resembling the actual course. I hope that you enjoy it! Stambaugh is a nine hole course in actuality, which presented a small problem in JNSE designing. Unlike JNUG you must have 18 holes to be able to play the game, and it would be unrealistic if I designed 9 holes twice, as there would inadvertantly be differences on identical holes (i.e. 1 & 10, etc.). I overcame this problem by designing the first nine holes until I was completely satisfied, then copied them into another directory, then renamed them as their counterpart on the back 9. For, example to make #11 which would be identical to #2, I copied the file Stamba.h2 to another directory, renamed it Stamba.h11, then copied it back to the directory where the other files were kept. Two exceptions to this rule were #8 & #9 the first time around. It is common at this GC to see 18 hole players take the "short way home," or to play #8 & #9 on the alternate routing as a par 4 and a par 3 to avoid the long hilly walks that #8 & #9 offer. Many people after walking #9 do not even wish to continue, as it is 456 yards, and very uphill. A note on the handicap system: the handicaps were set for each nine, rather than for the 18, as many holes are exactly the same both times, and two of the hardest holes, #8 & #9, were not involved in the first nine, therefore changing all of the other holes' handicaps relatively. Therefore the difficulty of each hole is based solely on its difficulty relative to the other holes also on that group of 9, not the whole 18. The actual course is located at 202 Gypsy Lane, Youngstown, Ohio and the phone # is (216)743-5370, if you are inclined to play it for real.

On #17, I stated that I have not seen it reached in 2, this is true for the actual course, not for the computer version, as I saw a computer player with his distance setting at 120%, and a strong tailwind once get there in two shots of 317 & 316, respectively, with a driver and a 3-wood. Imagine what he could do with driver-driver combinations on par 5's. p.p.p.s. Thanks goes to Lee Reitze for his fine background, which I "borrowed" from his excellent version of Augusta. on this work, my home address is: Mike Cook 1836 Elm Youngstown, Ohio 445€–w˜s o+ k- g((€–x˜xuu2u4uàuâupuruÑuÝuèu u u uF u´ u+ u<<+ - x/ xuu2u4uàuâupuruÑuÝuèu u u uF u´ u+ u<< Crillee Arial AGaramonds on par 5's.
