William Langford, one of great early American golf course architects, designed hole #5 at the tail end of his career in 1958. One of his renditions, had a bent grass roll off area on the back left of the green, but at the time, due to funding, this unique feature was not added but Todd Quitno, of Lohmann Golf Design, immediately saw what Langford saw, "strategy and beauty all rolled in one", so Todd added the feature to his, "Spirit of Langford Design" and today, May 18, we completed the feature and you could feel Langford looking over our shoulder with a smile on this face.
The first person to have her ball roll-off the green and roll into history was Mrs. Judy Kestly, she is pictured here with her playing partner Mrs. Ginny McBride. How apropos, two of Westmoor's outstanding, long term members, feel the Spirit of Langford as they enjoy a beautiful day in May.
