     Thank you G. Rodriguez III, C. Nillson, Mark Willett, Ted Maiden, Lee
Ritz, Scott Chesney, and Ken Smith, for the use of your backgrounds and 
objects where applicable. To let JNSE fans know, I think the work these guys
put into their object and background design is unmatched, and being the 
worst object and background designer myself, I use their work on all my
courses.

     Pine Valley was designed by George Crump and is located in Clementon, New
Jersey. Known as the "184 Acre Bunker", Pine Valley comes under constant
critisism because of Crump's use of sand. Many golfer's, including the PGA
Tour professionals, feel that Pine Valley is too tough to play on, therefore
the course has been seldom used for any PGA event.

     This recreation of Pine Valley is as close as you can come to the JN
Signature Edition version of the course. To create the course exactly as is
would make it mighty impossible to play on, therfore I have toned down some
of the land features to insure that a ball in play will be kept in play after
fairway roll, and that you will, or should have, a fairly good chance of
recovery out of the sand, should you land there. I WILL NOT guarantee par out
of a sand recovery, but you will definately get the feeling of frustration
that many golfers feel when playing the real course.

     Green slope has been altered a bit as a putt on a 10 foot slope, uphill
or downhill, is tough in JNSE. Maybe I should say impossible. Keep in mind 
that a course created with JNSE should be contoured to the game and NOT to
actual play of the course. If an SE architect tried to recreate all conditions
exactly as a real course plays, it may prove impossible for one to play it
with SE. A perfect example would be, take the Desert Highlands course in the
JN Unlimited version and hit into one of the sand transition areas. Some are
so deep that your chance for a score of 18 is not unlikely.

     Again, I have done my best in this recreation and it will definately
play more difficult than any of my other courses.
