BMU_KensingtonGolf Photo is newspaper article about him from years ago...not sure when.- It says "This is the view from the north side of the course. The Green used for No. 2 and No. 9 holes is doglegged behind the clump of threes on the right. My journaling reads-My Grandfather. Adolph Schrager as a very successful business man. He bought property a-joining his whenever he could. He had enough to build his own private golf course. In the woods he built roads and dug a pond that as full of very cold spring water. He has us on one side of the golf course and uncle Eldred with his family on the other. When we were young we had 64 acres to play on but could only use the course for sliding when covered with snow.He used the course to entertain friends, family & business associates. He loved golf and golfed with famous Arnold Palmer when he was at his winter house in Fort Myers Florida
