This is from the history of the course. I would encourage the reader to check the PDF as it has pictures of the original 'shack' and map of the course.
"DURING THE SUMMER OF 1938, the course received a facelift. In that Depression year, the federal government established a WPA (Works Progress Administration) project in New Prague to help the unemployed. Improvements to the Park and golf course, mainly tree plantings, were targeted for the project. Jerry Flicek, New Prague native, was knowledgeable about trees
"The trees came from Joach's Woods, Sykora's Woods and Flicek's Woods. Workers took out elm, maple, oak, hickory, chokecherry, ash and linden. Flicek marked the trees and workers then dug them out and wrapped them in burlap.
"But how could the workers get the trees to the edge of the woods to be loaded on a truck? They decided to use horses and a stoneboat -a sled-like device used by farmers to haul rocks from fields.
"They (the workers) were people all anxious for work," Flicek recalls. "They worked like demons -it was amazing how much work they got done."
"The 6-foot trees were donated by the owners of the woodlands and the WPA paid for labor and equipment, so the only costs to the City were for horse and truck rental.
"The new trees outlined the fairways, and they had to be watered three times each week from a water tank carried on the back of a tractor. But the young trees were an attraction for jackrabbits that liked to chew the tender bark."
