I also played the Plantation Course. A friend of mine built and owned the home just off #18 and was one of the sponsor's of the tournament. This was in 1965. At the time there were only 2 homes on the course. It was pretty expensive to build the house as everything had to be shipped in. He did tell the TV people he would sue them if they said who owned his home when they ran a span of the area as he was afraid his children could be kidnapped. We played the course the day after the tournament was over and I could not get over how difficult the putting was.
