This course is dedicated to Linwood "Lucky Lindy" Bazemore.Now I don't
really know Lucky so let me explain.I"ve been designing course's for
about two years.I did about 40 JNUG course's but only shared them with a
few close friends.I used the given objects and backgrounds and we had a
good time with them.Then a friend of mine, Benny Carpenter, told me about
Prodigy and showed me a course by Mark Willett, Mulligan's Point.I realized
two things immediately.One, a lot of people enjoyed playing and designing
course's as much as I did.Two, I had a hell of a lot to learn.With bullheaded
determination I set out to design my own objects and backgrounds.I studied
the house's by Mark Willett,the trees of Gene Rodriguez,the skies by Scott
Chesney and so on.I was ready.Put out my first course, Destiny Draw, and it
was a disaster.I'm my own worst critic but I thought I had a good one.Now I
look at it and all the objects look the same and blur together.Anyway I im-
proved a little with each course and finally did a course called Chastity
Springs which I thought was pretty good.The objects came out OK,I'm not an
artist and the holes played good.I put it out there and never heard a word
about it.It was the best I could do and nobody liked it.For the first time
in two years I didn't have a course in the works.I was done.I quit.If the
player's don't like your course's your doing something wrong.Two weeks later
I signed on Prodigy and to my amazement a fellow named Lucky had done a
review of Chastity Springs and really liked it.Now I had seen his name on
the board before,he's one of those guys whose always trying to help new
members with questions.There's a few of them around,that's what makes Prodigy
Golf Tour so special.Guys like Lucky,Michael "Giz" Burdulis,Ron "Blaze"
Enfield and Paul "Tree Frog" Conrad to name a few.Anyway it was a good review
and several other members added their comments,Roger Johnson and Regis Staley
Jr. but it was Lucky who generated the interest and it was sincere so it
was all I needed.Three people liked my course.Thank You Lucky Lindy

My source for Mahoosuc Ridge was a Sierra Magazine which had a great article
on the Northern Forest Lands and included some stunning pictures.Mahoosuc
Ridge is actually Mahoosuc Range and Wright's Creek is Wright's Brook.
I tried to duplicate the trees with DP2E and ended up with about 60 trees
from which I chose about 8 or 9.I damn near recreated the whole forest.I
wanted to create an atmosphere that put you deep into the woods with only the
sound of the creek bubbling and perhaps your golf balls splashing.Just kidding
I'd like to thank Lee Ritze for the use of his dark Evergreen from Gabrielle
Gardens and Mark Willett for his rock cluster and single similar rock from
Mulligan's Point.The rest of the objects are original.
Now for my ecological statement.After reading this article I hope we never
see a golf course in this area or anything else for that matter.We have enough
areas for course's and this area should be left undisturbed.
Other course's I"ve designed:
Destiny Draw Destinyd.Zip
Happy Hollow Happyh.Zip
Emerald Isle Emeraldi.Zip
Timberwolf Timbersh.Zip
Chastity Springs Chastity.Zip
Any comments,questions or requests for my course's:
