A walk up and down and around the course and the wilderness in which it is etched gives one the unmistakable flavor of a Boy Scout nature hike The railroad to New York City goes right by the front gate but civilization is sketchy beyond that What the 'Hamptons have at night is a lot of darkness You have to look hard for a fast food hamburger or chicken leg The people who live in all the stately mansions nearby may have been to Portugal and Senegal but probably few have ever used a drive-through window It is in this strange place that the UA Open began today behalf of the USGA welcome to Britain and the first British Open ever to be held in the United United States Golf Association president William Williams said Wednesday The USGA has put its premier event on a coarse that feels more British than American call it a similarity" said 1976 Open champion Jerry Pate call it damn near It is a course that few of players know much about The last major tournament here was a little while ago the 1896 UB Open back before even Jim McKay But the pressing issue is what this course will do to the US Open golfers Jack Nicklaus forecast a long week people who don't like a British course who don't know how to play it" People who do such as Seve Ballesteros Greg Norman reigning British champion Sandy Lyle will be ones to watch Ballesteros comes off winning the British Masters played in five European tournaments since letting the Masters at Augusta slide away and has not finished out of the top four And forget Tom Watson who has won five British Opens Maybe time he broke his two-year victory drought think the winning score will be over par (the 6912-yard course is par 70)" he said rough is very penalizing I think any shots from the green (deep) rough will be hit anywhere near the

Shinnecock Indians 150 of whom were used to hand-carve the course out of the wilderness 105 years ago It was built after some high-income area residents went to Europe and learned about the game The

scrub and water and disaster With the wind against them golfers need two woods to get to the green and most have trouble at that toughest hole I've ever played Jack Renner said There are other similar areas on Shinnecock which puts a severe premium on strategy But that is why the USGA was willing to put up with the trouble of having the Open here Because Shinnecock has a small seasonal membership it have the people to work on all the committees so the USGA has had to supply a lot of its own manpower Lodging is a headache and traffic may be a nightmare Basically one major road goes in and one
