news. especially to the amateurs who expect to
compete in the national championship tournament
to be held there in July.
For instance the tenth green has been put over
the lake making the hole sixty-four yards shorter
than 1t was year The railroad tracks will be
about one hundred yards distant from the eleventh
tee These tracks viii continue across the course
directly in front of the thirteenth green and four
teenth tee and through the seventeenth farway.
Under the circumstances 1t has been deemed ad-
visable to make new thirteenth green which is
some sixty yards beyond the tracks
The railroad is about sixty yards from the four
teenth tee. The seventeenth tee has been put
back, making II a drive OF about two hundred and
thirty-fve yards 10 the near edge Of the tracks
while the green has been extended fifteen yards
further back. AS IT is now If a player has to take
his brassey for the second shot he has about sixty
yards between the bunker that guards tho
green and the ditch at the back. Tits seventeenth
