Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the project to reconstruct the 18th hole at Ocean Trails on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, just south of Los Angeles. Describes how the original hole was swept over a cliff by a landslide. Describes how the new hole is being shored up and wildlife habitat is being restored. States that "while the reconstruction was a major engineering feat, once the plan was drawn, it was merely a matter of time, money and monster-sized machines to carry out the design." |
