Prettiest Course I'm Country.
When the players assemble for the
matches they will see one OF the prettiest
golf courses in the whole country There
may be some to tie it for perfection of
finish but none to excel. The course Is
pronounced by all who play 1t as daisy,
and no golf course in the United States is
kept in better shape. The greens are per
feet and the distance on the whole course
is fine Several changes have been wrought
In the course, necessitating the preparing
OF new score cards. The circus ring on
No. is the talk of the town From the
top of Pixies Peak the drive is rs yards
to the circus ring. Bogey on this hole is
three and It is attracting as much at
tention as the famous nine hole OF the Glen
Echo club at st. Louis.
Beginning Sunday the links of the Coun-
try club will be open to all who expect to
play In the tournament and several four
some matches have already been arranged
by the Field club members for Sunday.
