History
In the spring of 1964 Bill and Vy Davis purchased a rocky potato field that had been turned into a hay field from Winfield Anderson and began constructing Bay Ridge Golf Course. They had a farmer come in and remove about 700 bales of hay, just to get things cut down to size. They couldn’t plow the place up for the planting of grass until they had removed all the stones from the soil, so the entire area was covered with hay-stubble that they cut with a flail-type mower. They spent two years clearing rocks. They would rake the smaller rocks into piles and shovel the piles by hand into a two-wheeled trailer and take them to the stone fences. They also cut up and disposed of several miles of barbed wire and the supporting posts.
