Putting on the 8th Hole Green

A 1931 booklet distributed by

Yama Farms, designed to supply strictly matter-of-fact information, announced that Mr. Frank Meehan of

Philadelphia has taken advantage of the natural contour of the land, and built a nine hole golf course immed-

iately by the Inn. The general comment of the past few years has been, It's a sporty course without being too

hard. A professional is in attendance at the golf house near the first tee and caddies within call. The extensive

Yama Farms collection at the Ellenville Public Library and Museum includes a printed list of Caddie Reg-

ulations which is currently on display in the permanent Yama exhibit.The regulations included Caddies must

not swing player's clubs or take them from the bag except upon request and Caddies must keep off the putting

greens at all times except to hold the flag when employed. More importantly, in the light of the general Yama

philosophy of no other charges or tipping, caddie fees were established at “fifty cents for nine holes for class

A caddies down to “thirty cents for class C, and in same proportion for additional holes played. The regulations

urged guests not to be over liberal in classification and reminded No tips to or ball purchases from caddies

permitted.
