1926

​

September 1         Lake View Country Club in Paducah, Kentucky officially opens.  Maxwell designed the course and Dean Woods was in charge of construction.  [“History of Paducah Parks, Playgrounds and Recreation”, compiled by Sue Dana Green, edited and printed by Gracie Alexander, August 1, 1978; The Daily Oklahoman, June 10, 1928]  Editorial Note:  According to the March 8, 1927 Paducah News-Democrat, the course was expected to be ready for play by early summer of 1927. It is possible that the reference in the “History of Paducah Parks, Playgrounds and Recreation” was to the opening of the club and not the course.  Lake View is now known as Rolling Hills Country Club.
