short time Il is doubtful II even the
most optimistic devotees of driver and

to predict that in 1910 golf would give
employment to thousands and add to
the attractions OF hundreds OF towns

Time has shown that golf Is not a

seriously. Practically every other

No longer does the man IN the street
gaze at the golfer with his set OF clubs

One might hear a man OF the navy

Of progress, for he knows It Is golf

The huge strides golf is making and
has made is conclusive proof OF It's
fascination. Ten years ago the golfer
had 70 travel much longer 10 reach a
golf course that he does at present.
Every town OF any size at all has It's

is TO be bad that frequently brings the
visitor and his family. This is also
true Of many inland resorts
