the round from $3.50 to 1851 yards. and
as so many Of the greens are approached
uphill where the roll Of the ball is Killed. the
length is equal to 5000 yards on a fiat course

of the holes, the greatest alterations being
on the eleventh hole. There are no new
hazards of consequence, for the natural ones
with the few old timers could hardly have
been improved upon.
The walk from tenth green to eleventh
tee has been eliminated. for a new tee has
been put back OF the tenth green, but the
NAV is not over il. The tee is in the shade
of the trees near the brook. which has length

the approach is uphill it will take two crack

players a 5 will be fully satisfactory. The
fifteenth has been stretched from 1895 to ia
yards. a long instead OF a short iron shot.
