In 1943, Hazel Barton McClintock bought a twenty-five acre parcel from the Crane heirs, and she agreed to sell the Club nearly all the land on which it already had paddle courts, approximately three-fourths of an acre, for $4,200.

One paddle court still lapped over onto McClintock’s property, but she permitted the Club to leave it in place.

A few years later the McClintocks joined the Club.
