ST. JOHN'S GOLF COURSE

MANY YEARS AGO, A SPECULATOR INVESTED $20,000 IN
LANDSCAPING A GOLF COURSE AND BUILDING A COUNTRY CLUBHOUSE
ON A PIECE OF LAND IN PEARL BEACH, MICH. (NEAR ALGONAC).
ONE DAY THE WHOLE PROJECT SUNK AWAY INTO THE SWAMP WHICH THE
LAND HAD BECOME.

Submitter comment: THIS WAS TOLD TO ME WHEN DRIVING BY THE ALLEGED SITE. WHEN I
ASKED TO WHAT THE CHIMNEY I SAW BELONGED, I GOT THIS STORY.
