Mark, I don't think you ought to take up Marriott on this particular offer.

Seriously,  Marriott was most likely inviting you to

Marriott's Seaview Country Club Resort
401 S New York Rd  (US 9 at Jimmie Leeds Road)
Absecon, NJ 08201

which according to one Web site is a "36-hole (Resort)"

I've been there a couple of times, but only on expense account.

PS: for the information of list-members, according to local legend "Leeds" is
the Jersey Devil's family name.
