Local Golf Legend

Not long after the Naples Beach Hotel Course was built (originally 9 holes), a small single engine airplane would often land on one of the fairways. The pilot would deplane and play a round, climb back into his plane and takeoff. All was well until a new Course Superintendent was appointed. When he saw this, he immediately chased the flyer away from HIS fairways!!! Mr. Lindbergh never landed on the golf course again!
