| Abstract/Contents: | Provides a history of golf in Illinois, focusing on Naperville Country Club during the 1920s. Reports that, "prior to the Civil War, Jacob Brossman, a local farmer, purchased land that would become the site of Naperville Country Club." Overviews the construction of the course and clubhouse, mentioning that "the temporary [clubhouse] structure remained in use until 1926 when the club began planning a permanent building, about the same time they planned to finish the final six holes on the course." Details the installation of a water pump, stating that "until 1973 it was the only source of drinking water on the course." |
