Ray Brook Sanatorium Golf Course
When financial circumstances forced Richard H. Ray to move from Trudeau Sanatorium to state supported Ray Brook in 1938, he had his doubts at first (from Saranac 1937-1940):
Feeling that I might be moving from a first rate sanatorium to a poor relations workhouse, the sight of a lovely little 9-hole pitch and putt golf course across the road from the imposing portico of the main building got my immediate attention. An institution where you took your exercise on a golf course just couldn't be all bad. Trudeau had nothing to compare to this!
Dr. 'Harry Bray was the Medical Director at [Brook State Hospital] for more than thirty years (1917-1950). . . . He is remembered for having a short golf course built on the hospital grounds (1937), along with multiple outdoor parks, walks, ponds, lawns, a new laboratory (1928), and an additional 99-bed infirmary (1939).

Father Roy of the Franciscan Friary, and Chaplain at Ray Brook Sanatorium, has joined the golfing enthusiasts on the Ray Brook Course, and entertains some hope of shattering par before the end of the season. A goal well within his reach, I am told.
