In the 1960s and 1970s, many tournaments were held at the course, and the par-5 18th hole (now the 9th hole) got a reputation. The hole was and is a sweeping dogleg right around a lake that starts in the driving area and goes all the way up to the green. The combination of west-to-east wind and the lake (referred to as “Jack’s Elbow,” not sure for who) would cause many a failure and curses including two years where then local golf-great (and later nationally renowned instructor) Jerry Mowlds took a 10 one year knocking him out of the lead.
