 | | When the notion was officially submitted to the NYAC board of directors in 1921, for the purchase and building of a golf course and club of their very own, it was turned down. |
 | | As a sheer physical effort, the club records of 1922-23, show that 7,800 trees were estimated to have been cut down that were less than six inches in diameter, or were suffering from blight and other problems. |
 | | Also, part of the record reports 24,000 cubic yards of earth were moved in building the greens; 7,200 tons of rock were blasted in shaping the fairways and bunkers; 21,000 feet of drain pipe installed and 25,000 feet of water pipe laid for irrigating the greens and fairways. |
