MULLIGAN'S POINT a JNSE original design by Mark Alan Willett ================================================ From the Mulligan's Point Scrapbook: UPI - June 23, 1967 The first Binney and Smith Crayola Invitational was delayed today while Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Binney argued over the naming of the eighteenth hole. Seems that each of the holes was to be named after a color produced by the popular crayon manufacturers. "Mrs. Binney, who is Light Tan from her trip to Mexico," said a spokesperson, "wanted Soylent Green. Mrs. Smith, a natural and attractive Ivory, wanted JNSE Puice - whatever shade that is. You should have seen the brawl on the green, there was blood everywhere. It was Deep Scarlet." Mr. Binney and Mr. Smith separated their wives and sent them off in their own directions. "Go to the clubhouse!" ordered Mr. Binney, "That's the Camel brick building up on the hill." "And you go to the 19th Hole!" said Mr. Smith, "That's the Robin's-Egg Blue structure down by the shore." First-round action is expected to resume tomorrow, colors permitting. ================================================ NOTES There are two sets of background files and associated palettes in this package. The first background (the one currently loaded on the course) uses the newly popular technique of graphically shrinking its objects from the object file and placing them into the background file. It has the virtue, at its best moments, of providing a seamless transition between foreground and background. The second set of files contains the original SE background I created for the course, and has the virtue of better controlling the view of the gamer (i.e., providing some more satisfactory visuals). I believe both have their merits and drawbacks, and that both are worthy of a look. TO USE THE ALTERNATE FILES --- Use the DOS command "rename" to rename the current set of files: RENAME MULLIG.DZV NEW.DZV RENAME MULLIG.PRC NEW.PAL Then rename the alternate files: RENAME OLD.DZV MULLIG.DZV RENAME OLD.PAL MULLIG.PRC The reason that the PRC file (the file which contains the palette) should be assigned a .PAL extension when storing is the file also contains the course name, and SE will be fooled into thinking you have a second course on hand if the PRC extension remains unchanged. Reverse the procedure, substituting appropriate filenames, if you like the first background better. What's changed with the SE version of Mulligan's Point compared to the JNUG version? 1. The front nine and back nine have been swapped so the course could finish up with the more striking 7th, 8th, and 9th holes from the original. 2. The course plays substantially more difficult with the new SE play mechanism. Be prepared that shots you used to be able to take and make may no longer be successful in SE. Some areas have been made more difficult while others have been made easier...many areas have had their elevations regraded to make them more playable for SE. FYI - This doesn't mean the course is brutal...on my last test round (and the only one I played end-to-end instead of a hole at a time), I shot three-under with seven birdies, light wind, normal conditions. The foursome averaged 2.5 under par, so I think Mulligan's Point is still a fair test, but one which can become ugly in windy conditions. 3. I am very excited by the look of #7. Nothing was changed on the hole except to eliminate the majority of the trees backing the green. It's also the only hole in which the Fall colors don't normally come into view from the tee - and I'm not at all certain that it's not the most beautiful hole on the course now. Special thanks to Kerry Leibowitz, Tony Woodward, and Lee Ritze for their continued support...and, as always, to Ted Maiden.

Isles is a step easier, and Scorpion a step more difficult than Mulligan's Point. Coming next: Cherry Hills, Oakmont, Alhambra, Gila Monster, and Royal Marke.
