Course: Doowrehs Golf Course

Setting: Fictional course set in the canyon country of central Colorado. This
         course was originally intended as a joke. I wanted to see if it was
         possible to take Sherwood, and turn it around backwards. During the
         Prodigy playtest several people had complained that the course wasn't
         much of a challenge. I thought it would be fun to re-route the holes;
         have 1 become 18, 2 become 17, etc., etc.....

         I initially renamed the holes in reverse order, and used the other
         course files to (I thought) complete my backwards course. It played
         alright, but the hole quotes were all wrong, and I undertook to make
         corrections in them. Next; not being completely happy with the objects
         on the course; I went about "borrowing" objects from the other user-
         designers in the JNSE community. Almost every one of them draws and
         and creates objects far better than I probably ever will. The list
         goes on and on; Scott Chesney, Mark Willett, Alan Pajari, Keith
         Holzapfel, Ted Maiden. At least the objects were borrowed from their
         courses. If they borrowed any objects I used from someone else I want
         to take this opportunity to thank any of the original designers. Great
         work fellas!!

         Even though the basic hole layout was Accolade's, the majority of the
         holes have been either partially or completely flattened. re-contoured,
         tilted, had fairways re-shaped (a little or a lot), tee blocks moved,
         etc..

         All center lines have been extensively re-worked, and all yardages are
         accurate according to Course Routing. All tees are located in their
         proper tee areas, and all pins are located on the greens at what I
         figured to be a respectable distance from the edge.

         Ponds, lakes, and creeks have been added in some spots, and taken away
         in others. All sand traps have been deepened, according to how I felt
         when I was working on any particular hole. Some traps became ponds,
         and some ponds were re-shaped and became bunkers.

         All holes, with only a couple exceptions have had almost all objects
         relocated, or others substituted in their place. All holes have more
         trees, bushes, etc. than any hole on Sherwood. On this course you
         can't "wail away" at the ball. A knowledge of when and how much to
         hook or slice the ball is essential. Trees get in your way, and traps
         and water hazards pop up when you least expect them. A finesse golfer
         will probably do much better on this course than a consistent long
         ball hitter. During practice on the individual holes I shot either
         birdie or par on all par 3's, and most par 4's. The Par 5's (and there
         are 6) are a different story entirely. On most of them I felt happy to
         get by with par, and in quite a few cases bogie or double bogie.

         I have erased the HI file so that there is no list on the best of
         7 screen. That gives everyone who d/l this course a chance to post a
         decent score without having to try to beat a previously posted score.

         I believe I've covered just about everything, so on to.....                                                                       













         THE LEGEND OF DOOWREHS GOLF COURSE!!

              Doowrehs (pronounced duress) it is said, gets its' name from an
         old gold miner who once wrote home that he "suffered great doowrehs
         (duress) at the hands of the local sheriff while being locked up in
         jail one Saturday night". Being caught in the then un-named canyon now
         holding the course, it prompted the locals to write his spelling of
         the word on maps of the canyon area. Hence; the unusual name.

              In between wars, (WWII and the Korean Conflict) a group of bank-
         ers from a large Eastern city hit upon the idea of a resort complex to
         accomodate the tourists coming to the area to see the abandoned gold
         mining towns. Either their investment capital ran out, or they were
         unable to lure other investors into their plan. Whatever the reason,
         the idea just never "panned" out, (pardon the unintended pun) and they
         were left with a completed golf course that nobody seemed to want. In
         the end they deeded it to the small nearby town of Kneeknocker, a
         former gold camp settlement that survived after the gold in the area
         played out.

         Being a small town (small enough to not be on most maps) the town
         council has decided to make the course open to the general public and
         has plans drawn up for a clubhouse which will house the Pro Shop,
         locker rooms, and a restuarant when it's completed.

         Enough of local history for now.

       COURSE YARDAGE 7009                    COURSE PAR 73

       I would rate this course as moderately difficult. Some of the par 4's
       may seem a bit long to most, but I believe this is compensated for by
       the fact that most fairways are not narrow or cluttered. I think that
       the par 3's are all birdie prospects except under the most adverse
       green and wind conditions. The par 5's will give the average JNSE player
       the most trouble. Enjoy your round, and I welcome any and all comments
       on the course.
