                               History of
                     THE ROYAL HIGHMOOR GOLF CLUB

=========================================================================
   The Royal Highmoor Club came about after the wars between the McGregors
and the McDonalds finally ended. Local legend has it that the great fued
started when a McDonald and a McGregor fell in love with the same Bonnie
Lassie from the nearby village.It is unclear who won the Maiden's heart,
but it is known that she jumped to her death from the white cliff where
you will play the sixth hole,"Maiden's Leap. She was so distraught over
the fact that she caused so much bloodshed that she thought that death
was the only way out.Little did she know that the fued would go on for 
two hundred years.
   The land of the White Cliffs, as the area was known,was controlled by
the two families.The McGregors living above the cliffs in the Highlands,
and the McDonalds below in the Moores.Countless battles were fought
along the cliff,as it was the unofficial boundary seperating the two
families.No one dared to venture into this area for fear of being
mistaken for a member of the opposite Clan. If someone was caught by
one or the other,and they were not a member of their Clan,chances were
they would never leave the area alive.One family would venture into 
the other's territory frequently with death on their minds.In one such
raid old Linus McGregor was caught out in one of his high Meadows,and
never left it alive.Don't put your drive behind his grave on fifteen.
   Well, as a story book ending would happen, the fued ended when a
McGregor lad and a McDonald lass fell in love and got Married.As you play
twelve and head toward the green,remember that this is where the lad
proposed to the lass.As they were walking toward the point he was
supposed to have asked for her hand ,and she gladly accepted.From then
on a fragile peace fell over the valley,and as time heals stories turned
into legend.
   The bonding of the families was complete when the couple produced a son.
The young McGreger was not of the same stock as the families before him.He
didn't follow the land, but chose a path in life as a successful business-
man.He lived in town close to the creature comforts.He seldom visited the
land of the white cliffs.His business forced him to do extensive traveling.
On one of his trips to St.Andrew's he became acquainted with a couple of 
Gentlemen who introduced him to a ancient game that the Shepherds played.
His new friends "Old" Tom Morris and Billie Barou taught him how to strike
the ball straight, and to use a delicate touch when needed.It would be
needless to say that the young lad took to the game like a Duck to water.
More and more of his "business" trips were to St.Andrew's.He got to
spending so much time there that his successful ventures in the real
business world were beginning to show the effects of neglect.His wife
also was beginning to notice the change in him.One day she sat him
down and lectured him on many things, mostly about joint property.The
lad got the message and went back to the challenges of the everyday
business world.But he missed the game that the Shepherds played,and
dreamed of the warm weather when it was most enjoyable to be on the Links.
One spring day, as fate would have it,the lad went to the land of the 
white cliffs,mostly to assess the family holdings,but also to possibly
catch a "spring run Salmon.As he sat in the warm sun looking out over
the land,a crazy great idea came to him.He ran all the way back home
to tell his wife his idea.He sat her down and excitedly told her of his
divine revelation. Needless to say she thought that he was a bubble
and a half off of plumb.Any man who would go chasing a little ball
filled with feathers had to be tetched.But his persistance paid off.
Also the fact that he promised he would never travel again didn't
hurt.She thought to herself,"where will all these Shepherds come 
from to play this game on the course that he wants to build through
the family land? But she finally gave in........
And the rest is history !!!!

=========================================================================
The course plays average in my opinion for what it's worth. On a scale
of 1 to 10 with 1 being easy, I say it plays around a 5 or 6.
There is a lot of water,sand,trees, and anything else I could sneak in.
I tried to make accuracy an important element of the course,but I tried 
to stay away from"target" golf.I was hoping to reward a good shot.
I designed this course to be played from the championship tees. I didn't
playtest it from any others.I figure a lady's finger on a mouse or 
keyboard is just as strong as a man's.
  
==========================================================================
I would like to thank everyone I borrowed or stole objects from,mainly
Lee Ritze and Revery for their objects from St Andrew's and Muirfield.
Also LR's background from St A's.I stole more but names escape me.So
if you recognize your object,"many many thanks"
Also I would like to thank John Kunyik, who made the Toolbox. A great
great asset.
I would appreciate comments on the course, good and bad, I don't 
care....If you didn't like the course,maybe you liked the story <G>
I'm on Prodigy,and in the PNGT. I hang around Flight C with the
Hack-Attackers.     Jim Wildenhaus CWKX53A
