NEWS

Well, it sure has been a while since I last updated the site!! I have a lot of news to share with you:

Irish Creek Golf Club has been released!!! I started this course last fall and completed it yesterday (06/22).
Alplaus Lake Executive Golf Course is now available for download!!!!! I designed it in early 1998 and haven't been able to release it until now (for various procrastinational reasons).
Maplewood Marsh, The Wooded Swamps, The Highlands, and LaPlante CC are no longer available at all. Please do not send mail asking for me to mail the course to you; they have been deleted from my hard drive because they no longer meet my standards. Note that I am not asking for you or other sites to delete these courses; they are free to remain in circulation.
I have a number of courses that are in various states of completion. Over the next few months, I may complete some of them.



I purchased JNSE in late 1993, and have loved it since. I began designing courses almost right away, and, as you can see below, nothing from back then is available here. There are two reasons for that:

1) 11-year-olds usually don't design great things the first time(s) they use a program;
2) The computer I originally had JNSE on crashed around Thanksgiving '94, and to this date nothing has been recovered off it.

I continued to design on my Dad's new computer, and began using photos of real courses as inspiration for my designs. The first design that I really liked was the three-course Maplewood Marsh Resort. From there, I went on to do numerous other courses that mostly didn't turn out well. Until Christmas-time '95.

The Highlands was probably my turning point. I refined my designing techniques, and pretty much settled on a course-per-month pace. Since then, I've had a number of courses used on JNSE golf tours, including the Wooded Valley Golf Club in July '96, Springer's Lake Golf Club in October '96, and Onesquethaw Creek Golf Club and Alplaus Lake Executive Golf Course in early '98. For more on these courses, look at their info pages.

Below is the listing of courses that are available for download. Clicking on the course name will take you to a page that has a brief description of the course and a link to download it, or you can directly download the course by clicking on the .zip filename below. Please e-mail me with any comments, questions, or suggestions.
