The entire course Is underlaid with what
is regarded as the best of foundations for
ltnks-sand and gravel. This gives the turf

pended much money in laying out the links
and starting the turf in the way it should
go, and the same enterprise will doubtless
be shown in the future until they are salts
factory in every sense, and to the members
this means perfect.
