Abstract/Contents:Profiles The Pit Golf Links in Aberdeen, North Carolina, highlighting the eighth hole. States that "The Pit is the creation of Dan Maples, who opened it in 1985 to much acclai in alocale where acclaim is not earned lightly." Profiles Dan Maples and superintendent Martin Acker. Describes the layout of the eighth hole, stating that "Maples made sure No. 8 drips of strategy, of risk and reward from tee through green, demands accuracy and yet is fair - all elements of proof that length is not always necessary to produce a great par 5." Adds that "the hole's design and emphasis on clear thinkng and accurate shot-making eliminates the need for special maintenance."
