Yard Links Natural Lay
of Land Adds to Beauty
of New Public Course
Formal opening of th new golf
course constructed by P. W. Chauue
tut of Medford wilt be gala, affair
Sunday with all In readlneae to take
care of a record crowd.
The courw, which la reached by
leaving Main atreet at Highland ave
nue, then traveling aouth to Keene
way Drive, Is about five minutes'
ride from the center of the city.
The sporty nine-hole layout of
3773 yards boasts ample grass greens,
made smooth by fescue, German bent
and blue grass, and the fairways are
as near lost-ball proof as possible to
make them,
Mr. Ohausse, himself a devout di
sciple of the royal and ancient game,
has figured a tantalizing par of 40 for
the courae and while the more pro
ficient divot -diggers may not find
this figure too tough, It Is expected
that several of the more difficult
holos may give the tyro or even the
"fair' golfer plenty of trouble In
making a, tour of the links In forty
strokes.
Pine View Afforded
In laying out the course Mr. Ohaus
se took advantage of the natural lay
of the land and removed as few of
the fine oak trees aa possible. The
S0-acre tract, purchased from Dr. J.
M. Keene, slope gently toward the
valley and players hve an excellent
view of the lower reaches and op-,
poslte hills from practically every
point on the course.
Prom the olub house, built on
Keeneway drive the player shoote from
the first tee on a, 880-yard trek to
number one green which should be
negotiated In four to keep even with
"old man par." Number two la also
a par four hole of 406 yards. By way
of variation, number three fx a short
affair of 109 yards, par three, requir
ing accuracy and back-spin to hold
the green which la located on a slope
and terrace with a narrow entrance.
Number four Is also a somewhat
"sporty" proposition of 821 yards, par
4, the fairway flanked by trees about
100 yards out. Hole five Is a par four
with no unusual difficulties.
Dog Leg On No. 6
A 839-yard par four dog-leg is of
fered on number six, which properly
played requires a 100-yard drive for
the turn. This hole leads back to the
club house. Number seven, a par four,
of 400 yards, carries the player to the
extreme southwest corner of the
course where he steps up to the tee
on number eight, a hole designed to
give a maximum of thrills for any
golfer. Number eight requires a carry
of 149 yards to escape trouble among
the huge smooth rocky knobs which
guard the green evcept for a narrow
approach exactly In the center of the
fairway. This par three layout will
give the player a great thrill, If suc
cessfully negotiated, and plenty of
pain If the tee shot Is foozled.
Number nine, a 364-yard par four
dog-leg, which the long driver may
attempt with & tee shot of 200 yards
over the out-of-bounds terrain,
leaves the player In the near vicinity
of the club house.

FRIEND SETTLES
CHOICE OF CLUBS
By O. B. Keeler.
' (Associated Press Writer)
I got this one from my son
George, who lately has gone quite
mad on the subject of golf. He
was told the story by a friend named
Bruce Hanby, at the Coosa Country
club, Rome, Ga. Mr. Hanby got
the story in Birmingham. Indeed.
It happened to him. He professes
himself to be still uncertain what
to do about It, or, rather, what he
should have done about It, since It
Is now quite too late to do anything.
It seems Mr. Hanby was an ardent
golfer, and an acquaintance the
acquaintance being of a business
nature was In Birmingham briefly,
and Mr. Hanby Invited h'm to play
golf.
"I don't play much. said the vis
itor, In the deprecating tone which
suggests he played pretty darned
well, when he did play. "And I
haven't got my clubs with me."
"That's all right." said Mr. Hanby.
"I've got two sets. Just changing
to some new ones, you know. The
old ones are pretty good clubs,
though. I haven't made up my
mind yet which I will play with, per
manently."
Bo they went out to the club and
got some caddies and started.
Clubs Didn't Suit.
The visitor did not look as if he
were going to bust any course record.
He dtd an uncertain sort of 8 on
the first hole, and on the second
tee he topped hts drive badly. He
looked at the ball until It stopped
hopping along. He looked at the
club. Then he wrapped It around
one leg of the tee-box and went on.
"He dldnt say a word," "aid Mr.
Hanby. "He didn't even swear. And
It was my club. But I didn't know
exactly, what to do, so I didn't do
anything."
The next hole had a lot of water
In front of the tee. The visitor
topped his first drive Into the water.
He teed another ball and topped
that In. He teed a third and topped
that one in, also.
Then he took all the remaining
ball out of Mr. Hanby's second
string golf bag and threw them
Into the lake. Then he took the
bag of clubs Mr. Hanby's clubi
and threw the whole works Into the
lake.
Mr. Hanby Knows.
"And then," said Mr. Hanby, "he
dusted his hands together with the
air of a man who has got a mean
lob finished, and said: 'Well, that's
over with I'"
As Mr. Hanby told George, he
didn't know at the time what to do
about It, and has not decided since.
"One thing," said Mr. Hanby, "it
certainly got that round of golf
over with In short order. And that
was a good break, the way he was
going."
And another thing. It settled
Mr. Hanby's mind aa to which set
of clubs he was to use permanently.
He usea the new clubs.

GIVES GOLFERS
By O. B. Keeler,
(Associated Press Writer.)
The golfing clans, with no more
worries about Bobby Jonea to concern
them, already are marshalling their
forces and spirit for the big American
battles of 1932.
Abong the professionals, the chal
are Chick Evans and Jerry Travera,
who share with Jonea and Francis
Oulmet the distinction of having
captured at one time or another both
the American open and amateur
championships.
Among those attempting comebacks
lenges read from left to right or west
to east, aa the case may be, In ad
vance of the open at Fresh Meadow
In June.
The Dutra brothers. Olln and
Mortle, will Join George VonElm In
the far western attack upon the ex
isting eastern leadshlp. headed by
Bill Burke, but also Including Gene
Saraaen, Johnny Farrell and WUfy
Cox. It should be a hot lntersec
tlonal scrap, with a few of the old
Scotch masters also wielding a nib
lick In the melee.
Horton Smith's name has not been
In the summarlea this winter and
spring, but the big blond from Mis
souri, recovered from a broken wrist,
must be reckoned with when the
scramble begins for the big prizes.
Meanwhile Sarazen, Mac Smith and.
Tommy Armour, a small but forml4l
able American entry, tackle the Brit- '
Ish hazards, with at least an even
chance that one of them will land
on top of the open field. Little Jose
Jurado had the British title In bis
grasp last year, only to allp on next
to the last bole and fall to overtake
Armour.
