Golf Course Trades Runs my Leatherstocking Golf Club Article

THE GORGEOUS DROP SHOT 12TH

You can’t help but fall in love with Leatherstocking Golf Club, whether you’ve come from across thew country to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame or a local seeking an upscale round on a Golden Age masterpiece.

As always Golf Course Trades did a wonderful job with my piece. You can read it here.

From the article:

“Designed by quintessential Golden Age architect Devereux Emmet, Leatherstocking is also a chakra…a golf chakra: a perfect storm of phenomenal green complexes, murderous bunkers randomly peppering the fairways, a gorgeous edge (Lake Otsego), and reasonable length. What looks like a pushover on the card (6,400 yards from the tips) has consistently flummoxed and bamboozled politicians, professional athletes, well-heeled resort guests, and grateful locals for over 100 glorious years. Best of all, Leatherstocking is open to the general public. Coming to visit the BBHOF? In town for a romantic getaway at the stately hotel? Want to knock a former top-100 golf course off your bucket list? Walk on up, and tee off! And don’t mind one bit if it feels as though you’ve stepped 100 years back in time.”
