| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Olympia Fields, "a flat prairie-like golf course thirty-five miles southwest of Chicago", Illinois. Describes the vegetative bent greens used on the course, including Flossmoor bent and clover. Profiles the bunkers at Olympia, nothing that "though raked in the approved harrow style they were not difficult due to fairly easy slopes and abundance of sand." Concludes that "Olympia Fields is a testing championship course from the back tees." |
