Cole's Mill Golf Club a JNSE Original Design by Dave Dykeman Welcome to Cole's Mill. Originally intended as a practice course for personal use, and for object experimentation, I didn't decide to release this course to the public until I'd already been playing it (in a very rough form for almost 4 months. The setting is just up the road from New York City, far enough away to get to some real country. This just happens to be the area where I live. I'd especially like to thank Jeff Merten, Bob Polin, and Gene Rodriguez III for their help in bringing the course to a point where I felt it was ready to be released. An idea man and two fine designers, what a consulting group! (BTW I want everyone to know that the falls on #9 have been officially christened as Merten Falls.) I also stole some of the ground cover type objects from Bob's Nonami course. The course itself is by no means a pushover. If you are a fan of nice flat, easy to read, single break greens, you might want to skip this one. There are a few tee shots that require moving the ball to one side or the other and most of the tee shots will benefit from some amount of draw or fade. There are also some elevation changes which, to me, are right on the edge of the JNSE software's ability to handle. I hope you don't find them any worse than what might be encountered in real life.

A few are slightly modified versions of rocks, grasses, and bushes "borrowed" from other designers; the only ones I know I took something from are Bob Polin and Mark Willett, and I'm not sure what I got from who. If you see something familiar feel free to take credit for it. The background: The background for Cole's Mill began with Brian Silvernail's Rolling Ever- green background. About the only remaining (nearly intact) piece of Brian's original background is the sky. I did use the program Deluxe Paint II Enhanced to place smaller versions of my trees into the background. And also, mostly because I lacked the proper blues in the JNSE design module, used DP2E to create the pond/swimming hole. (Does that look like a guy swimming and another guy sitting on a dock ?) The rest of the background and all of the original objects were created using the DESIGNER that comes with JNSE. Colors: I used JNSEDT to change the grass colors very slightly. I also modified the color bar colors (slightly), changed the water to my personal taste, and the sand to a more characteristic coloring for courses in this area. A big thank you to John Kunyik for this fantastic program. Comments: This is my third public release and I think it may be my favorite one to play, Although I still think Adirondack Preserve looks better. I hope you enjoy playing Cole's Mill half as much as I enjoyed designing it. And remember, it is suppose to be fun. If you have any comments, good or bad, about the course please drop me a line.
