The natural topography, gently rolling and sweeping with no sudden elevation changes, showcases the architectural talent ofrenown golfcourse architect, Bill Coore, and two time Master's champion and captain ofthe 1999 Ryder Cup Team, Ben Crenshaw. Explains Crenshaw, " We are extremely proud of[the golfcourse}from a natural sense, the view ofthe lake, the beautifulpine trees and the varied situations enabled us to include as many different golfstrokes as we could. it will be a shot maker's golfcourse, rewarding good strategy and a variety ofwell-played shots. " With just two parfives, measuring 533 and 623 yards, Cuscowilla boasts 12 par-fours rangingfrom a reachable 298 yards to a lengthy 485 yards. Most dramatic ofthe holes is #I0, a 427yard parfour, which plays from a high bluff across afinger ofLake Oconee, then nms along the shoreline to agreen set at the water's edge. Following the exhilarating#I0 is the shortest, and most dangerous, ofthe course's four par threes. Measuring I33 yards from the tips, the I1 th hole hugs the lake, playing from one tiny peninsula to another that holds a precariously positioned postage-stamp green. All the bunkers are finely crafted in the classical style ofAllister Mackenzie and A. W Tillinghast with high sweeping sand faces. The greens are true works ofart slightly crowned with a variety ofgently rolling contours placing a premium on precise greenside shot making and a deft putting stroke.

Oh, where have the gone to-the eight-iron stiff to the pin, after two less fortunate shots, setting up a par; the calmly stroked putt that snatched a win away from the staggered opponents; the heroic long drive that cleared the brook on the fly by a foot or two; the bravely slashed wedge that lifted the plugged ball up in a sea-spray of sand to bobble blindly toward the hole? How can these feats matter so little, so soon after they mattered so much? The blood thrumming in the temples, the rushes of love for one's doughty, erratic partner, the murderous concentration upon imaginary abstractions carved in the air by sheer sinew and bone- boiled down to a trinket of silver, a tame patter i of applause in the tent, a pleasantry, a loss .

Then over shoulder lies the target, viewed askance; a raised elusive plane surrounded by a vale of fea rs; an elevated floor where swinging dreamers dance; yes! in balanced knees I bow before the lifeless shell, and dwell upon the cold pale spot with somber eyes; with one long sweep I wave the magic spell, to conjure from my bag of tricks-a feathered prize? Fly! Fly white bird with power and stroke the friendly sky; land softly on the shorn site where victory nests high. -David Colquhoun The Author: He was born in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland and worked in the Clyde shipyards as an apprentice marine engineer.
