SNOW UPSBTS LOCAL GOLFERS
on MANY
COURSES.


Outlay OF sIAO 900 for Special Work on
various Links Contemplated This Sea-
sOn-Now Tract for Oakland Golf Club
Tournament Results at PInehurst.
Snow has set the local golfers to signing,
for II will put back work Il couple of weeks
on all the NJ. G. A. links. There was especial
regret among the committeemen OF the new
Dunwoodie Countr Club. who want TO have
the ground ready for seeding early in the
spring and all cleared UP preparatory to
being converted into an eighteen hole course.
Mainly old pastures. there Is little TO be done
but take away stone walls and fence line
bushes. There will be $50 900 expended on
clubhouse and links this season, the first few
holes and a temporary club shelte r to be ready
for an opening on July 4. Changes and i'm
provements, for committeeman this season

order at nearly every NJ. G.. A. links. Caution
should be urged. for 1t is very easy to spoil

mania. "A halt in time often saves nine
blunders when II comes to altering the play

think Ill OF the committee"
Aside from the $50. 900 to be spent at Dun
woodie, the Oakland club Ia building nine
holes more on new land. which will mean a
disbursement of $50, 600, Apawamis has been
buying land and has several chang es brew
ing. to cost about $40, 600. and Montclair
has just furn lshed a $1,000 addition 10 the
already very complete clubhouse. Baltus-
rol has expended $4,000 OH a new station and
general work. The Ardsley Club, in cutting
out the old Sc ven teenth and eighteenth holes
on account OF villa building. has work under
way that win make the eighteen holes better
and 100 yards longer, and the changes will
cost IS, 600 or over. The Forest Hill couse
has Deen extended TO eighteen holes and a
$4,000 fund expended. Az the annual meet
ing IN February the Fox Hills Golf Club raised
a purse Of 9l3, 900 for extra and immediate
chan ges, while II the atifening up policy la
adopted by the Garden city Golf Club the
outlay will be at the minimum $1,000. This
makes IN estimate Of $40. 900 being put out
for special work by nine NJ. q. A. clubs. The
ordinary upkeep Is $1,000 for q nine and Sill
900 for an eighteen hole course. the above
calculation being only on OUTLAWS out Of the
ordinary and by no means a complete list.
Snow will set back. but not check, the final
conclusion OF each Improvement. for while
not as expen sive to the individual as many
sports and recreations the upkeep Of a links
and clubhouse demands a constant and gen.
er Gus disbursement.
The Montclalr Golf Club course has been
closed for a month. Tom Anderson 10 back

putting greens. Marty McLough lin the
promising showing in the NJ. o., A.. contests

The Oakland Golf Club has gained pos
session OF ffty-four acres in the new tract,
and has noT holdings Of ar even LOO acres;
this season. while the new tract Is being
turned into a fine turf. Meanwhile the green
committee will have all summer to plan its
full eighteen hole course, and the opinions
of all available experts is to be gathered.
