The engraving comes from an 1899 issue of a now defunct local newspaper called The Brooklyn Daily Eagle. It shows the third hole on the old Richmond Hill Golf Course. The street to the right is Lefferts Avenue (today's Lefferts Boulevard). Crystal Lake is offscreen to the left. Using today's landmarks, the green was located in the vicinity of what would become Austin Street. The Richmond Hill Golf Club was largely composed of professional men. Frederick J. Stimson and Robert L. Harrison, well known lawyers at the time, were successive presidents of the Club.
