| Abstract/Contents: | "U.S. Highway 50, arguably the loneliest road in America, cuts like a black knife across the vast open landscape that is rural Nevada. This asphalt ribbon lets one time-travel through Nevada's past, when the search for gold and silver created bleak outposts on barren lands." Speaks of the Round Mountain Golf Course, the pride of the mining town 62 miles from Austin, NV, who bills itself as the loneliest golf course in America. Eplains how Pete Summerbell, a PGA Class A professional, brought many new ideas for course maintenance, improving the course considerably. Notes how Round Mountain Golf Course follows strict policies to control potential hazards brought about by the mining industry. |
