Although the future looks very promising, it, of course, <br />is unknown. We added 10 more holes and began an 18-hole operation <br />from County and City leaseholds on January 19, 1972. This was permit- <br />ted by lease dated 16th of September, 1969, with the Orange County Flood <br />Control District, adding 86 acres to our 38-acre City of Santa Ana leasehold. <br />The joint leasehold was sought for the following reasons (listed in order of <br />importance) <br />1) History indicates that an 18-hole operation has better <br />chance of continuing profitable than 9 holes. <br />(a) Many old customers had left us for "regulation" <br />18-hole operation. <br />(b) Exposure t:o main thoroughfares as "windows" <br />to business greatly needed for new customers <br />and location identity. <br />(c) Most of machinery used to maintain 9-hole course <br />would be adequate to maintain 18-hole operation. <br />~ ~ ~~ ~, ~~ s~` ,i i~~ ~ ~~ ; ,, it 4 ~) ~'I <br />1800 West 22nd Street, Santa Ana, Calif. 92706 <br />Phone 543-1115 ~~~LLLddd <br />
