It was created with the help of both the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) (Kalish, 2015; Taylor, n.d.). ]]> 2023-02-11 06:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bstutler/vzlqaypag1dtqr75/wish/2477152287 Reno, NV bstutler https://padlet.com/bstutler/vzlqaypag1dtqr75/wish/2477152512 The Country Club and golf course were created in Reno, NV, and can still be found today at 2601 Foley Way Reno, NV 89509. They were built "on the site of the original Reno airfield" (Kalish, 2015). ]]> 2023-02-11 06:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bstutler/vzlqaypag1dtqr75/wish/2477152512 bstutler https://padlet.com/bstutler/vzlqaypag1dtqr75/wish/2477153076 According to Curran (1997), the Country Club and golf course were created because the "federal government was anxious to be involved in projects" (p.8). 1,000 people visited the course on its first day, and it was open from "6:00 A.M. until dark" (Curran, 1997, p.8). The clubhouse was remodeled several times, and eventually torn down and replaced in 1969 (Curran, 1997, p.9). ]]> 2023-02-11 06:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bstutler/vzlqaypag1dtqr75/wish/2477153076 bstutler https://padlet.com/bstutler/vzlqaypag1dtqr75/wish/2477153143 Members of the club, such as Vin Burke, Charles Foley, Pete Marich, and Hut Martin, became professionals and pioneers of the sport in Reno. While the clubhouse has been replaced, the golf course itself is still open and running (Curran, 1977; Kalish, 2015). ]]> 2023-02-11 06:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bstutler/vzlqaypag1dtqr75/wish/2477153143
