The present plan is to stretch out the playing
length OF the course, and the tees at the fourth,
eighteenth holes will all be put back adding
close to three hundred yards. and bringing the
total close to six thousand yards. This length
entng OF the course Will be a comparatively easy
matter, as most of the tees mentioned We're
