2025.0. "Wilmington Dela(where) ?" by GVPROD::63868::DAWKES (Compuserve 100025,2367) Thu Jul 06 1995 05:09

I will be visiting Wilmington, Delaware (not Mass !) in a couple of weeks; my wife works for 
DuPont, and hope to spend some time looking in golf shops etc.

Anyone with any knowledge of the area ?

	Mike

p.s. Yes, I plan to play the DuPont C.C. while I'm there.

2025.3No Garrison but......GVPROD::63868::DAWKESCompuserve 100025,2367Fri Aug 04 1995 02:5215
Bob,

	Didn't get to Garrison but I did play Delcastle (nothing special but easy to get 
on), Ed "Porky" Oliver's (good greens and clubhouse - lots of youngsters play here), and 
the first half of the DuPont Nemours course. This was in immaculate condition, as the 
'DuPont Course' appeared to be. You really need to be invited to get on the DuPont (despite 
what they say) and book well in advance. 

	Prize for the least friendly reception anywhere that I have played so far goes to 
the pro-shop in DuPont, however, first prize probably tied between Cheri Alexander (who si 
the social club secretary and got me on the Nemours course) and Lionhead, just north of 
Misssissauga, Toronto. By the way, they claim that their "Legends" course is the second 
hardest in North America (slope is 168 !). Anyone know otherwise ?

	Mike
