Eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule, izakhamuzi zaseNew Prague zaziphupha ngokuba nenkundla yegalofu enezimbobo ezine, kanye nezinkundla zethenisi, izinkundla zebhola, izinkundla zokudlala nezinye izinsiza epaki elisha elihlelelwe idolobha. Lo mbono awukaze ugcwaliseke, kodwa imbewu itshaliwe.
Eminyakeni engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye edlule, lo mbono waba ngokoqobo. Ngomhla zingama-21 ku-Agasti, i-New Prague Golf Club izogubha iminyaka engu-90 njengengxenye yomqhudelwano wekilabhu. Uhlelo olufushane luzoqala ngo-4 ntambama futhi lumeme umphakathi ukuthi ukhumbule umsunguli waleli phupho eminyakeni engu-90 edlule.
Ukuzijabulisa kwakusihlwa kuzohlinzekwa ibhendi yasendaweni i-Little Chicago, edlala umculo webhendi ye-pop/rock kusukela ngeminyaka yama-60s kanye nama-70s. Amanye amalungu ebhendi nawo angamalungu esikhathi eside e-New Prague Golf Club.
Ngo-1921, uJohn Nickolay waguqula cishe amahektha angama-50 epulazi laba izimbobo eziyisishiyagalolunye namayadi angu-3,000 e-fairway, ama-tee kanye nemifino, ngaleyo ndlela eqala umdlalo wegalofu eNew Prague. I-New Prague Golf Club (NPGC) nayo iqale lapha.
â???? Ngakhulela eNew Prague futhi ngathatha lesi sifundo eminyakeni engu-40 edlule. Ngiyaziqhenya ngokubuyela lapha ukuze ngiphathe izinsiza, â???? Kusho uLuling. â???? Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, kube nokuqubuka kabusha okukhulu kwegalofu ekilabhini yethu nasezweni lonke. Sikulungele ukuqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngolwazi oluhle kakhulu lwabadlali begalofu basendaweni. Sikhuthaza abantu ukuthi baphume bazogubha nathi ntambama mhla zingama-21 kuNcwaba. â????
URuehling uqhube wathi inkundla yegalofu iwusizo olukhulu emphakathini. Akubona abadlali begalofu abavela eNew Prague abathokozela lesi sikhungo, esho. â???? Abadlali begalofu abavela endaweni yedolobha elikhulu bayingxenye ebalulekile yamaqembu abambe iqhaza kulesi sifundo. Ukudlala lapha kusinika ithuba lokubonisa ngePrague entsha nokuthi sinomphakathi omuhle kangakanani lapha. Sibonga abaholi bedolobha ngokubona leli gugu elikhulu. â????
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1930, cishe izakhamizi ezintsha ezingama-70 zasePrague zakhokha u-US$15 ngelungu elilodwa kanye nama-US$20 kumalungu omndeni enkundleni yegalofu. Kusukela ngo-1931 kuya ku-37, empeleni kwakuyiklabhu yangasese. Ilungu eliphezulu uMilo Jelinek lathi eminyakeni eminingi edlule: â???? Inkundla yegalofu eNew Prague ithathe isikhathi eside ukuthi ibongwe. Abanye abantu abadala babevame ukuhlekisa ngalabo abajaha lelo bhola elincane elimhlophe enkundleni yegalofu? ? ? ? Around. Uma ungumdlali wegalofu, ungase ugconwe ngentshisekelo yakho “echibini le-ranch”.
Ngabo bonke ubuchwepheshe obumangalisayo bokwenza amakilabhu egalofu nezinye izinto zokusebenza namuhla, kunzima ukucabanga ukuthi ngawo-1930, uNickolay wazenzela amakilabhu akhe, esebenzisa ukhuni lwensimbi ekhanda, futhi enyathela umshini wokugaya ukuze alolonge ukhuni oluqinile olusendlini engaphansi kwendlu yakhe.
Imifino yokuqala kwakuyingxube yesihlabathi/yamafutha, okwakungavamile ngaleso sikhathi. Abagibeli begalofu abangena kokuluhlaza bazosebenzisa idivayisi efana nereki enemiphetho eyisicaba ukuze benze indlela eyisicaba eya enkomishini. Ukuhlanza amabhola egalofu phakathi kwezimbobo kudinga ibhokisi lokhuni eligcwele isihlabathi esimhlophe esicolekile esitsheni. Igalofu lizofipha ibhola libe nengqondo ukuze lisuse amabala otshani nokungcola.
Ngaphezu kokudala nokuphatha izifundo, uNickolay uvame ukunakekela izifundo. Unamalungu omndeni azomsiza. Bagawula ama- fairways ekuqaleni kosuku, balinganisa imifino, futhi balwa izimpi ezingapheli nama-gopher ukugcina umhlabathi ungenazimbobo. Kuthiwa uDkt. Matt Rathmanner waze waphatha isibhamu esikhwameni sakhe segalofu lapho esebenzelana “nomdidiyeli”.
U-Chuck Nickolay, ilungu lesikhathi eside, owayeyiMeya Entsha yasePrague kanye nommeli omkhulu we-NPGC iminyaka eminingi, unezinkumbulo ezikhethekile zikamkhulu wakhe u-John Nickolay. â???? Ngicabanga ukuthi okuhlangenwe nakho okukhumbuleka kakhulu yilapho ngineminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ubudala, umkhulu wami wayengithatha kanye nabanye babazala bami siyodlala naye. ÂNgiyaqala ngqa ukudlala igalofu, futhi isineke sakhe ngathi siyamangaza. ÂSisanda kushaya ibhola libe luhlaza futhi sijabule. ? ? ? ?
Idolobha lathenga izifundo ngo-1937 ngentengo elinganiselwa ku-$2,000. Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakuwumsebenzi onzima ukulinganisa ibhalansi yezimali, futhi ngezinye izikhathi amalungu kwakudingeka aqoqe imali eyengeziwe yokondla. Ubulungu abugcini nje ngokuba nzima ukubuthola, abantu abaningi basavela enkantolo yize bengakhokhile.
Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yokuthi iphrojekthi ye-Works Progress Administration yasiza abantu ababengasebenzi phakathi Nokucindezeleka Okukhulu Kwezomnotho, imizamo yokuthuthukisa ikharikhulamu yaphumelela.
I-clubhouse yasekuqaleni yayibizwa ngokuthi????Umjondolo.????? Kwakungamafidi angu-12 kuphela ngamamitha angu-14. Yakhiwe phezu kwebhlokhi likakhonkolo elinezimpumputhe ezivulwe ngezinti zokhuni. Isitezi sokhuni sasimbozwe ngezimpawu ze-plywood. Zonke izinsiza zingasetshenziselwa igalofu kanye nokudla/i-snack. Ubhiya wasendaweni weCity Club Beer yiwona odume kakhulu. Ngasekupheleni kwawo-1930, ishede lakhula laba ngamamitha angu-22 x 24 amamitha.
Isidlo sakusihlwa somndeni sangoLwesithathu ebusuku siguqula isifundo sisuke endaweni okuwukuphela kwayo yabesilisa sibe “imibuthano yomndeni” eyengeziwe. Isazi somlando walesi sifundo sathi lezi zidlo zakusihlwa zidlale indima ebalulekile ekwenzeni iklabhu ihleleke kangcono futhi igxile emndenini.
Akekho ongamela kangcono impumelelo yeklabhu yegalofu, uthando lwegalofu nokungenisa izihambi kuka-Links Mikus kunoClem â????Kinkyâ????. Ulayini wakhe odumile kubantu angabazi ekilabhini uthi: “Sawubona, nginguClem Mikus”. Ngijabule kakhulu ukuhlangana nawe. ???
U-Mickus ukhuthaza amalungu angewona awendawo, ukhuthaza ukunwetshwa kwemigodi engu-18, futhi usebenza njengomphathi wetoho iminyaka eminingi (abanye baneholo elincane noma abanalo nhlobo lonyaka). Lapho umdlali wegalofu ekhononda ngokuthi utshani bude kakhulu, i-fairway ayinqunywa kahle, futhi isimo esiluhlaza asilungile, uzothi: “Ingqwele izolungisa.”? ?
Njengoba umngane wakhe uBob Pomije asho: “Uma umnika ithuba lokuhlangana nawe, ungumngane wakho.”? ? ? ?
UScott Proshek, osanda kuzalwa ePrague, waqashwa ukuthi aphathe izifundo ngo-1980 (futhi wakwenza lokho iminyaka engama-24). Mickusâ???? Ikhono lokungenisa amalungu avela kwi-Southern Metro likhuthaze i-NPGC ukuthi ibe ibhizinisi eliphumelelayo elihalelwa amanye amakilabhu. Qasha u-Bessie Zelenka noJerry Vinger njengomabhalane wesitolo ozinikele kumndeni wakwaMickus, esiza amalungu angewona awendawo ukuthi athole ubulungu obushibhile futhi ajabulele amalungelo ezifundo zekhwalithi ephezulu. â????
U-Proshek wakhumbula ngolunye usuku esanda kubusa, lapho etshela u-Bessie ukuthi uzodlala umdlalo wegalofu ongandile phakathi kwemisebenzi yakhe ephethe lesi sifundo. Wabuza ukuthi wayenobani, futhi u-Proshek waphendula, “Ngaphambi kokuba silahlekelwe yibo, babengobani labo bantu?
UMikus waba ngumphathi wesikhathi esigcwele ngo-1972, cishe eminyakeni engu-20 ngemva kokuba eqale izifundo zetoho. UMikus washona ekuqaleni kuka-1979, eshiya uphawu olungenakucimeka enkundleni yegalofu.
Kusukela ekupheleni kwenkathi kaProshek ngo-1994, sekunabaphathi abaningi, futhi wazinza ngo-2010. UWade Brod usayine inkontileka yokuphatha nedolobha ukuhola abaphathi beqembu. U-Ruehling usebenze njengomphathi wansuku zonke kanye nomdlali wekilabhu we-NPGC okhokhelwayo. Eminyakeni emibili edlule, ngu-Ruehling kuphela obephethe lesi sifundo.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1950, i-clubhouse entsha yakhiwa okokuqala. Esinye futhi sanezelwa ngasekupheleni kwawo-1950. Alisabizwa ngokuthi “?????? hut.” Okunye okungeziwe kwaba ngawo-1960. Ngawo-1970, kwakhiwa izinsiza ezengeziwe ezisezingeni lesithathu.
Ngosizo lwesidingo samanzi sedolobha, iminyaka yawo-1950 futhi kwakuyishumi leminyaka lokufaka utshani obuluhlaza. Uhlaza ekuqaleni luthatha amamitha-skwele ayi-2,700 futhi lwaluthathwa njengosayizi omuhle ngaleso sikhathi. Kusukela lapho, imifino eminingi iye yandiswa. Ngenkathi kunegebe elingaphezu kuka-$6,000 ezikweletini ezingakhokhiwe zokufakwa, amalungu athola indlela yokwenza ibhalansi ngeminikelo nezibonelelo ezivela ku-FA Bean Foundation.
Ekupheleni kwehlobo lika-1967, kwaqala ukwakhiwa kweHou Jiu Dong. Izihlahla ezingama-60 zasuka emigodini eyisishiyagalolunye yokuqala zaya ngemuva kwezimbobo eziyisishiyagalolunye. Ngo-1969, izimbobo ezintsha eziyisishiyagalolunye zase zilungile. Izindleko zayo zokwakha zingamadola angama-95,000 kuphela.
U-Bob Brinkman uyisisebenzi sesikhathi eside sikaMickus (kusukela ngo-1959). Wayenguthisha esikoleni samabanga aphezulu. Wathi: â?? Sabelana ngemibono eminingi yokushintsha inkundla, njengokutshala ezindaweni ezahlukene iWillows, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kwemigodi eyisishiyagalolunye. Sithole ama-bunkers amasha nama-berms, futhi sashintsha ukwakheka kwezinye imifino. â????
Ukukhuphula inkundla ibe yizimbobo ezingu-18 kuyishintshe kakhulu iklabhu, okwenza ifaneleke kakhulu imiqhudelwano futhi ihehe kakhulu kubadlali begalofu ezindaweni zasemadolobheni. Yize abanye abantu bakuleli bephikisana nalokhu, iningi labantu liyabona ukuthi bayadingeka abadlali bakwamanye amazwe ukuze kugcinwe inkundla isimi ngomnotho. Yiqiniso, lokhu kusaqhubeka kuze kube namuhla.
â???? Ukubamba iqhaza kulezi zinguquko nezengezo kuyajabulisa futhi kuyajabulisa, â????? Kusho uBrinkman. â???? Ukusebenza esitolo esikhethekile iminyaka eminingi noma ukuhlangana nabadlali begalofu abaningi esifundweni kuyinto ejabulisa kakhulu. Angakwazi futhi ukubamba iqhaza emisebenzini eminingi yeqembu. â????
U-Proshek uphinde waveza ukuthi izinga lalesi sifundo lihalela amalungu alo kanye namalungu e-Southern Metro ajwayele ukwenza lesi sifundo. Ekuphakameni kokuduma kwegalofu ngeminyaka yawo-1980 nawo-1990, bekunohlu lokulinda lobulungu be-NPGC. Nakuba lokhu kungaseyona inkinga, isibalo samalungu siphinde sakhuphuka eminyakeni emibili edlule, futhi isifundo sigcine isimo saso sekhwalithi mayelana nokudlalwa.
Kusukela ekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo kuya ekwindla, i-New Prague Golf Club inikeza izinkulungwane zabadlali begalofu ngalokho abahlanza igalofu abakubiza ngokuthi “ithrekhi enhle”. Abadlali abajwayelekile abasuka kude ngamamayela amaningi baya e-New Prague isonto ngalinye ukuyodlala inkundla yegalofu eqhudelanayo, namuhla eyaziwa ngemigwaqo yayo emincane nemifino emincane.
Enye impahla eqinile yalesi sifundo inkundla yegalofu encane. Isungulwe ngu-Brinkman ekuqaleni kwawo-1980, yathuthukiswa ngu-Proshek futhi yaqhubeka kuze kube yilolu suku, iholwa ngu-Dan Puls. â???? U-Kurt uyaqhubeka nokusekela noma ukuthuthukisa lezi zinhlelo, â???? Kusho uBrinkman. U-Proshek uveze ukuthi abadlali abaningi abavela e-New Prague High School bayaqhubeka nokuzibandakanya emisebenzini ebalulekile yasekolishi.
â??? Eminyakeni engamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye edlule amaphayona egalofu aseNew Prague enza umbono wemidlalo osasebenza nanamuhla, â???? U-Lulin wanezela. â???? Noma ngabe umusha noma umdala, igeyimu yegalofu ikunikeza indlela yokuphuma ukuze ujabulele ngaphandle, ubuke izilwane zasendle, ujabulele ukuba nabangane, futhi uzihleke (ngesinye isikhathi ukhale) wena nabanye ngezikhathi ezimnandi. Lona umdlalo wempilo yonke futhi ngiyaziqhenya ngokuba yingxenye yempilo yami. ? ? ? ?
Njengesakhamuzi saseNew Prague impilo yakhe yonke, uNickolay wengeza ohlwini lwakhe lwezinkumbulo. Ubuke uyise-ewine izicoco zekilabhu ezimbalwa, iqembu lami lesikole samabanga aphezulu liwine isicoco sesifunda sesi-4 ku-NPGC, lahamba lasho futhi konke okuhle okumele ngihlangane nakho eklabhu. â????
URuehling ugqugquzele izakhamizi ukuthi zize ekilabhini ngo-Agasti 21 zizobungaza le mpahla yomphakathi. â???? Sonke eNew Prague kufanele siziqhenye ngale nkundla yegalofu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumdlali noma cha. Sijabule kakhulu ukugubha iminyaka yethu engama-90. â????
UBrinkman uphendule ukuphawula kukaRuehlingâ????s: “Leli dolobha kufanele liziqhenye ngokuba nenkundla yegalofu enhle nejabulisayo. â????
