© wf 12 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, July 28, 1993 ru Golf club "(continued from page 11) have a lot of older courses in this area that have been established and have brought along the golf- ing community. So when we entered the market, so to speak, ~ we found there were a lot of people . looking for that next level, the ~ : J higher level of amenities, that higher level of golf course.” At least one member is already impressed. “This is a first-rate place to play . golf,” said member Tony Kupri- © onas, a Back Mountain resident r who was taking advantage of the practice facility. “I live very close to the course and I drive by it - every day. I see it taking shape, see it changing colors, it's fantas- tic. This practice area is unbeliev- - able. It's (the practice area) better than most of the courses around here. I think this is going to be a fine addition to our community.” Lumia agrees that the Back Mountain community will benefit + from the club, which currently at ARAN A AA % bi * Fig Pry MIAN employs 25 people. “I think it's excellent for the community,” said Lumia, who stated that the club will begin a caddy program when the course is complete. “It will also provide a number of good jobs. It's clean and nice to look at. I think the community atlarge is pretty much happy with it.” Club pro Tim Foran thinks each time a member plays the course, it will be a new experience. “I think every round can be a different experience,” said Foran. “We'll have up to five teeing areas for each hole and some of the holes will have up to 13 different tee possibilities. So you're always going to have a different test of golf for whatever level of play. “This is going to be a members’ golf course, first and foremost,” added Foran. “The service we will render here will be as good as you can get anywhere. We think the quality of the clubhouse ameni- ties, the instruction and the caddy program will be first class. That in itself is, perhaps, welcome in the community.” ¢ | Photos by Ron Bartizek DOWNHILL 2nd - The second hole, a 390-yard par 4 with a dogleg left, starts with a steep downhill tee shot. : a TEMPORARY QUARTERS - Until the clubhouse is completed, a brick farmhouse on Hayfield Road serves as golf shop and admin- istrative headquarters.
