Bevington â€" who moved to the Oakville Golf Club in 1981 after being an assistant at the prestigious Mississauga Golf and Country Club â€" said the Oakville course has never been an 18â€"hole layout. â€" Oakville‘s nine holes exist on about 61 acres, having evolved from an original sixâ€"hole design with extensive improvements comâ€" pleted in the 1960s. The first parcel of land consistâ€" ed of slightly more than 50 acres to which were added several land acquisitions. The original design was by George Cumming, a Canadian golf pioneer and a memâ€" Of course, most players will tour the layout twice to achieve 18 holes. The course is listed at a respectable 6,091 yards, with a RCGA rating of 69.9 on its par 71. To date, improvements have been completed on holes one, four, six, eight, and nine.

"Accuracy on the drive is important and the small greens lead Original 50â€" (Continued from page 17) The third is a slight dogleg right, par four, again with a twoâ€" tiered green and a middle iron approach shot. The fourth hole is another slight dogleg right with a double green. Bevington says it‘s important to land your approach, again with a middle iron, on the correct section of the green. The first time through the course, players hit to the right side of the double green; the second time through, they play the left side. The fifth is a tricky par four. The hole is only 316 yards long, but the landing area narrows as you approach the green. The green is pitched substantially from left to right. "The sixth is a unique and pretty little hole," says Bevington, of the 340â€"yard par four. "You use an iron off the tee because it‘s important to get on the fairway. There is no room for error." The second, a par three, is a short iron played with the prevailâ€" ing wind to a tough, bunkered, twoâ€"tiered green. On the back nine, this same hole is lengthened and played as a par five. According to Bevington, perâ€" spective plays tricks on the approach shot leaving most players short. Small greens and to a large number of chip shots being played," Bevington says.

Former New York Ranger Vic Hadfield was an assistant at the club before moving on to Indian Wells in Burlington. The eighth is a nice par three, according to Bevington, with an elevated tee to a slightly less eleâ€" vated green, shaped like a fish hook. Depending on the wind and tee placement, there can be quite a swing of club selection on this hole. Club member Mike Pratt swears he has hit six different clubs from the tees, but Bevington only acknowledges a four club swing. Either way, it is still a wide range of choice. The ninth is the toughest hole on the course, according to Bevington. The par four, dogleg left, sports a bunkered fairway and a long narrow green with out of bounds behind it. The seventh, a par five, is guarded by a creek with a perfect tee shot giving players a chance to reach in two. The wind is usually in the golfers face making the dogâ€" leg right play longer than its 440 yards. The green is significantly sloped.
