II the player IS opposed in the match
by one OF the fair sex
From the fourth tee half way down
gentle slope is natural hazard of a
line OF trees. Farther on there is TO
be long low bunker protecting the
green, which is but 20 yards away
The fifth hole is free from obstruc-
ton, with the exception of fence to
cross.
The sixth and home hole will prove
the ''bogiea of the course, especially
for the player who is weak on drives.
Three fences meet coming in at differ
emit angles, with the hole but short
ways beyond. 1t will be at this point
in the course that many chances for a
record will be lost and many player
will grit his teeth, grip his club and
say things.
Considering everything, the course
will be very hard one. The whole
course win be rolled and the grass kept
short a width of $50 feet.
At Woodsdale, however, Sunday golf
will not be permitted. For the benefit
of ladies. no member of whose family
belongs to the club associate members
to the number of twenty-five will be
admitted. Twelve associate members
have already Joined.
The Highland links is situated on
the Bates farm, three miles east of the
city. Last season a Temporary course
was layed out and 1t was there that
most of Wheeling's golf players devel-
oped an interest in the game. A six
hole course will be layed out and club
house erected. The ground lies on top
of the hills. commanding a beautiful
view of the surrounding country. AL
though it is somewhat less easy of ac-
cess than the "Woodsdale" links, it
has the advantage over the latter from
the fact that no matter what the tenn
peraure is there is always a breeze,
making the playing enjoyable even in
the warmest weather Sunday golf will
also be made a feature there. To keep
the course from being crowded the
membership has been limited to
twenty.
The exact location of the holes has
not as yet been decided, but the work
of construction will be started within
very short time, as the contract will
be awarded this week.
There is already a membership of
nineteen. with only one share left open
to be decided upon at the next meet
ing. Following are the members:
Messrs. w. P. Hubbard, Arthur Hub
bard, Russell Hubbard, Dr. w. j.
Bates, w. C. Bates. Charles Bates.
Joseph Brady, Hon. James B fancy,
Richard Lee T. H. Pollock, Latane Nc
Lain, Clinton Campbell. w. r. White,
Joseph Speidel, Jr., w. w. Simpson,
Alex. Campbell. Earl D. Adams, Dr.
Cooper, A. l.. White.
Further improvements, such as sod
ding and leveling the greens, will be
made to the Mount de Chantal links
this spring Last year, owing to the
fact that there was no other place
accessible. Bishop Donohue very kind
ly allowed the members of the Alumnae
to utilize them. This year, as other
links have been constructed, the rules
regarding visitors will be very strict.
With two clubs fully organized
there will no doubt be many matches
arranged betweena teams and individ-
uals of the two organizations so that
there will be little chance of the in
terest tagging.
The Woodsdale Club will issue "bogie
cards" monthly, which will be sold at
a nominal price. The proceeds will
furnish modest prizes, which will be
awarded for the best record during the
month.
