Father Bill reads the inscription at the Mass Hole on the Waterville Course: "In the 18th Century, the celebration of Mass was punishable by death in Ireland, forcing the local population to use the secluded valley in front of this green to hold their services. The original links design called for a green to be placed in this hidden valley. However, the local workmen declared the area sacred ground and refused to disturb the site. A compromise was reached with the green being relocated on the hill overlooking the Mass Hole."
