So a golf club is to be organized. That
puts Jersey City at once Upon a plane with
other high class places. 1t has been
thought for so long that this city could
support nothing of the ~kind-even a ten
mis- club has had to struggle for existence
that the brave spirits who propose es-
tablishing this golf club deserve COM
~mendation. These courageous people are
Nh. and Mrs. Albert J.. Drayton, Miss
Nan Traphagen, Miss Addie Scudder and
Mr.. George Beach,.
Just think of the pleasures this golf
club mebers propose. Think how de-
lightfuI twill be to carry the golf sticks
through the streets. to have a caddy (and
what am enjoyable occupation it opens up
TO Jersey City boys), to be able to talk
knowingly of this or that link, of a
bunker and all the other terms dear to
gol6acsi Golf is the game of fashion, and
unless this club be organized Jersey City
will be wofully behind the times. When
that course is laid out on Mr.. Condict's
grounds. Duncan and West Side emu
residents here may say without shame
II live in Jersey City, When the links
are spoken of as the best golf course in
the country the charter members of the
club, of whom there will be fifty, may
look with pride on the result of their
work. AT first it was thought the club,
though composed of Jersey City people,
would have to have the course elsewhere.
AS a mere matter of public spirit, it is
well that it was found that a golf curse
can be had here. So. welcome to the golf
club and all it brings with it, never for
getting the golf teas!
