Poetry and the Voice

The Interpretation Of poetry is even
more helpful TO the voice than prose
because of its rhythm and variety OF
expression. The lyric poem is the
nearest to song, and is usually an
outcry OF the heart in joy or sorrow,
and a voice that interprets it correctly
must express the JOY or sorrow and

Yet the true golfers tire of tame
shots, where a short or curving drive

careless approach to the putting green

challenged, stimulated by obstacles,
confronted by problems of distance
and direction. These players, though
too few to comprise a full member
ship, keep alive the science, are the
true apostles of golf, and their needs
and preferences must be considered.
Here is a problem, then-to build a
course that will call out the best that
is in the expert without discouraging
the mass of amateur golfers. The
ideal course is attractive to all the
players; good course, in fact, makes
good players.

Eagle Rock, is a thing to dream about
the Pacific on the right, the
Sierra Madre on the left, and the gar
dens of Pasadena smiling from the
farther bank of the Arroyo Seco.
The membership includes not only
the enthusiasts of Los Angeles and
the neighboring country, but very
many well known residents of the
east who are winter visitors There
are signs of a long waiting list, the
recent Improvements and the increas-
ing vogue of the finest outdoor pas
times having greatly stimulated inter
est in the Annandale links. The fine
club house is we'll located; the view
from its piazzas embraces the Sierras
from Old Badly to Mount Lowe, with
all the intervening country. The APP
proaches, private drives, are we'll kept
and picturesque; street cars reach
nearly to the Annandale properties
Yet the course lies entirely outside
of the residential area, well removed
from any suggestion of town sur
roundings.
The environment attracts the fam
lilies of the members as well as the
devotees of the game, and the fine
cuisine is an encouragement to the
social aspect of club life. The AMMAN
dale club house has come to be one
of the principal objective points for
driving and motoring, and frequent
luncheons and private entertainments
are given.
Much of this has always been true
of Annandale, but the recent activities
of the greens committee have not only
resulted in an increase of general at
Effectiveness, but have re-enthused
the enthusiasts by presenting golf in
its most scientific and subtle form

his attention to the rough hillsides on
the left, the traps on the right and the
low bunkers down below him. A fine
drive may send the oall to the green;
the hole, in fact has been made in
one shot-so the man claimed!
No. IA, "Glendale''-426 yards, 5
bogey-The writer shrinks from dis
cussing this hole. Bogey should be IL;
caddies should be sent on ahead with
spades to dig the ball out of the pits,
and to follow it over the hill and I'M
der the barbed wire fence. Seriously,
though, this is a most interesting
proposition; a good drive clearing the
bunkers and avoiding the pits and
mounds should give a good lie for the
brassey. A rough hillside on the right
and a heavy slope to the left are both
a blind hole, must be played with ex-
IRENE care to reach the green, which
lies at the foot of the slope.
No. Is, Eagle Rock"-326 yards,
bogey-shows the work of the greens
committee at its best. 1t is really the
most notable hole of all, from the
standpoint of scientific golf. Huge
bunkers and mounds approach to
within 120 yards of the tee. veering
away to the right, so that a slice has
to negotiate with a carry of 10 yards.
There is a strong temptation to play
off to the fair green of No. &c. but the
man who yields to this impulse finds
himself in fresh difficulties, being con-
fronted by two tiers of cop bunkers,
instead of the single one he should
have met had he kept in his course
The second tier is $50 yards distant
from the tee and parallels the first,
away to the right. The green
is guarded by hazards twenty yards
in the rear
No. 16. "Buena Vista'-556 yards, 6
bogey-begins with a tee close to
Eagle Rock, where the player is re-
freshed by a wonderful view of the
Pacific and the mountains and the
cities of Pasadena and Los Angeles.

ern resorts-is pre-eminently the home
of leisure and relaxation, the greens
committee has been laboring through
out the entire summer to bring the
links up to the level of the very best
courses on the Atlantic seaboard.
Taking advantage of a generous ap-
propriation the committee has en-
larged and revised the fair green's,
scraping, narrowing, rolling and clean
ing away weeds and brush from their
borders; bunkers, traps and mounds
have been carefully placed, with ref
erence to the best traditions of golf;
large quantities of sea sand have been
spread about in the hazards. Finally,
careful experiments with growths of
various kinds have shown that a par
ticular species of Australian grass
will afford a permanent turf 1t is at
lacking this problem with all the force
and sincerity that have characterized
its other work. The committee is also
devoting much effort to the improve
ment of the tennis courts and the
stimulation of interest in this game.
Two courts are in evidence, and there
are no finer ones in the southwest.
A Double Problem
The vast majority of golfers are not
expert, have neither time nor inclina-
ton to attack the game upon its sci
entifc side. They love to play, but
are moderately content if the total of
their strokes does not exceed, say,
one hundred. To surround them with
obstacles, to penalize every shot that
departs from accuracy, Is to discOur-
age the real supporters of the game;
for the true golfers are so few in
number that their dues would not

No. 8, "The Sycamores yards,
bogey-confronts the tee with a top
bunker 100 yards away, with a rou gh
hillside on the right and pits on the
left. A full iron shot is needed to
reach the green. This completes the
first half, or going out" of the
course. The average player finds it
an easier series than the second half
No. 10, "Gretna Green''-124 yards, 3
bogey-presents a natural bunker fif-
teen to twenty feet high, not far in
front of the green. It is a temptation
to use the midiron, but it rarely de-
mands a full mashie shot, as an over
drive is penalized.
No. II, "Pasadena"-64O yards 6
bogey-is the longest hole on the
course and a paradise for the sure
driver The novice by careful iron
play can avoid disaster, sacrificing
single shots. Coming after, Z, 8 and
10, this hole offers to the good player
the luxury of cutting loose" This
is the scene of most spectacular driv-
ing, some of the Annandale men show
ing splendid form in the use of the
wooden club. The first drive must
reckon with a hillside on the right and
sand pits on the left, to safely ap-
proach the first tier of cop bunkers,
800 yards from the tee. The second
shot calls for a brassey, which should
carry well up to the second tier of
hazards consisting of large pits, 545
yards from the tee, where the green
may be reached by a first class mid
iron shot. An over-approach is penal
lied by sand pits on three sides of the
green.
No. ~, Punch Bowl''-165 yards, 8
bogey-is the delight of the man ac-
curate with his mid-iron; but a slice
or pull is a matter of lamentatiOn,
tears and mutterings. To right and
left are pits and mounds galore; low
bunkers face the tee not far away;
an over-shot may climb the rim of
the bowl and leave the ball in an ugly
little ditch. This green was cut out
of the solid side hill
No. 10, "Outlook"-209 yards,
bogey-entices the player to look away
from his ball. the view being magnifi-
cent. But if he is wise he will confne
