Also, there is a pine tree that extends out to the fairway a bit on hole number 17; it seemed to give Ike some trouble-- so much so that he lobbied to have the tree cut down, but that did not happen. The tree is also named in honor of President Eisenhower.

Eisenhower's military policy was shaped by nuclear technology. Due to the concept of M.A.D.

So the US shifted from a large standing army to a smaller one with emphasis on intelligence gathering, espionage, and large stockpile of nuclear weapons.
