SPORTS Plitt ReducedAdmi &NCMH cashier 3 new golf holes ready to be unveiled at Finley By BOB HENSON Sports Editor After four years of planning and construc tion, Finley Golf Course is now ready to open three new holes on the front nine. The new holes, designed by George Cobb, were built to create more field space for the , University. The new athletic fields will be located where the old fifth, sixth and seventh holes are now. The sixth green will be left intact and will be used fora practice green. Construction was completed on the new fifth, sixth and seventh holes in the summer of 1980 and they could have been opened earlier, but Greens Superintendant Mike Leeper said the harsh winter of '81 delayed the opening. "The winter of '81 killed all of the ber muda grass and the fairways had to be redone," said Leeper. The recent rains have also posed problems in getting the project completed. "It has been so wet that the construction company that will build the athletic fields has . not been able to begin work," said Leeper. "We also have some minor things to do like putting sand in the traps on five and six." The project cost was approximately $300,000 and took nearly 1 5,000 yards of dirt to complete. Leeper said when the holes are finally open for play, golfers will find the front side Sports notes: play a little tougher. "I would probably guess that the front nine will play about a stroke or two higher," he said. y The fifth hole is a 495 yard par five with a slight dogleg to the left. It is an interesting hole because the golfer will have the option to go for the green in two. "Number five is a hole you can gamble on," said Leeper. "It is reachable in two for the good players, but they have to be ac curate with the second shot.'' A creek runs diagonally with the fairway and swings around in front of the green. There are also two bunkers guarding the green! " The sixth hole is a narrow, 200 yard par 3. .The golfer will have to fly the ball all the way to the green because of three bunkers, one of which protects the entire front of the green. The seventh hole is a par four, 394 yards long with a dogleg to the right. The tee shot will have to be accurate as the golfer tries to avoid two fairway bunkers. The second shot will also be difficult because the golfer will have a semi-blind shot uphill to the green. Golf Pro Devin Brouse thinks the new holes will help the course. "It's an improve ment from a character standpoint," he said. "It will add some difficulty to the course, but not a lot." The holes will be opened for play as soon as the ground dries and construction can get underway on the athletic fields. Leeper said they should be open within the week. Women netters 5th The North Carolina women's tennis team finished fifth in the AIAW National Tourna ment held May 26iJune 1 at Iowa City, Iowa.
