i to stage a golf tournament at the i-oiirin
early nest year, probably un Febiuiii

now, nearly all beginners, and their
; scores range about lit) tor the course.
When they started in their scores ul ten
totaled over Kit) and tho aveinge was

ers the game, is enthusiastic over tho
prospects of tho course, and snyn ihnt it
will become one of the best ou tho

The total length is 3100 yards for
the :iiue-holi course. The first hole ij
1100 yards nnd tli green lies on top of
the hill. The drive is across a deep gul
ley in,! with a good drive the player
should get on too green with his second
shot. Bogey for this hole ia four. Tho
second hole is 105 yards with the given
cut out in the woods ami calling for
a perfect straight shot to uinku thit
hole in throe. Ii,ey for the third hole
is. five; the distuneo is MM yards und
requires a long straight drivo.
Tliu distance on ('no fourth hole b
JSHI yards. This calls for an accural,
appiuiich and bogey is six. The fifth,
hole is a ista cut through the wuodi
and calls for a straight drive with a

yards from the tee. The iliMnnrc i

The eighth hole is Xr)0 yards with
