| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the construction and destruction of Dugmar Golf Course during the Depression. Describes the construction as "a set-up - a land deal, with golf at its core," because the developers knew that the area would be flooded in order to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Details the construction of the course, including the financial costs, the response of local residents to the course, the court cases regarding how much the state should reimburse the owners of the course, and a 1991 underwater dive which included an exploration of the course. |
