Karen-

I've played golf once in my life and that was all it took for me to realize
that I was behaviorally incapable of participating in the sport, and
maintain meaningful relationships with my friends.  The experience was so
deplorable that I mentally blocked the event and all that is associated
with the activity from the frontal lobe for most of my adult life until I
was forced to watch the final round of the 1990 TPC with my future
father-in-law before he gave me consent to marry "his MEG".   To me,
tigerwood is a plantation grown hardwood from the rainforests of Bangladesh
used in turning handles of fondue forks.

All that I know about the course at Lookout Mountain is that Garnet Carter
was the original developer.  Ironically enough, Carter was also the
developer of the Tom Thumb Minature golf courses popular in the twenties
and thirties, the predecesseor of Putt-Putt and Sir Gooney minature golf
courses.  I will let you know if come across anymore info.  This for a
friend who is in charge of restoring the greens.
