1562.0. "Info on Oak Ridge GC" by SNKERZ::J_REID (Bart Simpson for Governor) Wed Aug 05 1992 09:32

    
    
       I am looking for some information on Oak Ridge GC in Agawam Ma.
    I have to try and qualify for the Public Links there and I have never
    played.  Any information will be appreciated!

	Oak Ridge is a nice course - not very hard.  I've never played
	it from the tips tho and it can stretch a bit on a few holes.
	
	Haven't played it in 6 years.  They were looking to host a
	ladies pro tourney and alot went into the look of the course.
	Flowers, better conditioning, etc...

	Greens are kinda funny.  They didn't hold too well and they're
	mossy - unlike any I've seen.  Also, they break about 1/4th
	what you read.  Greens are fairly large and deep.  A few holes
	can be 3 clubs from front to back.  Practice green is a joke -
	much hillier than anything on the course.

	The holes are pretty straightforward.  The middle will be a
	good place to be ;^)  There are trees but not much where you'd
	lose your ball.

	18 is a good finishing hole.  Make sure to look at it on the
	par 5 16th so you'll see that pond that's not in sight on the
	18th tee (keep it left).  You'll have alot of opportunities to
	see upcoming holes.  You can see 2 and 9 from #1.  You can see
	3 from 2, etc...  Not sure if there's a course map on the card.

	Best advice - putts are much straighter than they look.
