in playing distance. The first hole,
called the Meadow, is 377 yards. The
tee is just north of the clubhouse, and
the green is built on a rise. just be-
ycnd a point of rocks and trees. A
pulled or sliced ball from the tee is
badly punished. The play is up hill,
and care is necessary in approaching
to the green, as a sand-trap will pun
ish everyday. No. 2, Fairview, 1876
yards, is northwest from The first hole,
over two hills. Hanging lies are not
uncommon, and sand-straps are SO ar
ranged as to punish careless play. The
green is we'll guarded by rough ground,
and five is DOGGY and good-going. No
3, the Dipper, lies parallel with the
second, the green being only separated
from the first green by a bunker. A
bunker traps a topped ball from the
tee; but, well away, the hole should be
made in four. The fourth hole Is 322
yards, to a terraced green, over a fine
rolling fair green. Vardon made the
hole in four in both his rounds, but five
is considered DOGGY. no. 5 is the short
hole, 100 yards, and the green should
be driven. The woods on the left pun
ish a pull, while a sand-trap will take
good care of a sliced ball. Accuracy
from the tee is essential in playing the
sixth hole, 800 yards. This done, it is
easy going to a rolling green for a bo-
gey four. The seventh hole, 391 yards,
cans for high-class golf, as the green
lies around a point of woods on the
left, and three strokes are usually nee
essary to reach the green. The DOGGY is
five. No. s, 229 yards, may cause trou-
BILE to the unwary. A stone wall must
ibe driven from the tee, and a brook
back of the green makes careful ap-
proach play necessary. Then comes
the longest hole on the course, 600
yards. A rolling fair green is crossed
by a road and the brook during the
journey, and rough grass on the sides
makes n keep in the straight and
narrow way. The DOGGY is six.
Coming in one finds that the same
high quality of golf is necessary. The
tenth hole, though 345 yards, is one
of the easiest On the course and should
be made in four, but No. IL, $50 yards,
makes up for it. The tee is on the
top of a rough hill. A slice means
"out OF bounds" and a pull all kinds

guards the green, and rough grass
means a lost stroke for an overlap
preach. The DOGGY is five, although a
four is not uncommon. No. II is
called Bunker Hill. The line play is
diagonally acros the water ditch. and
a carry in 1870 yards from the tee is
necessary. AS the name implies, the
play is up hill to a green well guarded
by sand traps. The distance is $50
yards and the DOGGY four. No. 13, 265
yards, is clear sailing; the play is
down hill, with few difficulties. The
fourteenth, however, is a long hole,
b2S yards. The pond must be driven
from the tee. and the hole is well
named Waterloo, as it so proves to
many aspiring players. An outcrop-
ping of rocks makes careful play ne
cessary, and a water ditch threatens a
poor brassey. The hole is on a knoll,
and the possible trouble Is not over
until the ball runs down. No. Is is
$50 yards, and the play is over some
high rocks which ena a low ball.
A natural cop bunker guards the green
and five is. welcomed as strong golf.
No. 16 is comparatively easy, and for
this reason is called Consolation. Ac-
curacy is only necessary to get a DOGGY
four. No. II is another long hole, SIP
yards. The line of play is towards
