| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Bayonne Golf Club in Bayonne, New Jersey. States that "the private course, which opened Memorial Day weekend [2006], has arisen on the back of industrial waste and harbor dredge. And yet the whole contrivance assumes a soft and lovely demeanor, one that contrasts sharply with the iconography of a bustling, working harbor." Also states that "the course site includes 128 acres of uplands, plus 20 acres of wetlands, a helipad, aqua range and water taxi dock with direct routes to lower Manhattan." Mentions turf types used on the course, including creeping and velvet bentgrass greens; colonial bentrgrass and Chewings fescue fairways; creeping bentgrass and Chewings rescue tees; and fine fescue roughs. Concludes that "the result is not only an impressive technical achievement, but also a powerful interplay of golf and the lower Manhattan waterfront." |
