There is scarce another golf course
west of Chicago that can ne compared
with the Rock Island arsenal links.
Even the Chicago courses are, for the
most part inferior. 1t is hard to find
a more beautiful <pOt than this island
arsenal. The links run for some dis
lance in view of the Mississippi. The
course is wide and it is not difficult to
| keep entirely clear of grass hazards on
| the sides. The fair green's" are splen-
did and the putting greens good The
! bunkers are judiciously placed and will
not give player undeserved trouble Or
penalize the good player. The Punch
Bowl is the only water hazard on the
course. 1t is a pool about 80 yards
wide, and though it does not take a
very good drive to carry it. the best

The Punch Bowl is the longest
hole on the course, being COZ yards
