/ may say that after playing four
rounds over the Wykagyl course, New
Rochelle New York, | would never tire
of playing on it, This is the finest
course / have had the pleasure of play
ing upon during my short visit to this
country The tee shots are very exacting
and require careful placing for each
hole | may say that on all the courses
| have played both at home and abroad,
none call for a more testing stroke from
the tee than the Wykagyl course. With
out in any way being narrow down the
fairway they are not really very woe,
but should the ball be pulled little or
even sliced then the player will surely
find trouble. / consider this type of golf
course the right kind. While there is
ample width, yet it really appears mar
rover, owing chiefly TO the numerous
trees which run parallel to the hole.
There are innumerable natural hazards,
bitches, roads, rocks, etc. and in fact
every kind of natural hazard as well as
very fair number of artificial ones
1t is really a golf course where the
player who can drive straight will win
every time, and my contention is that this
course must have great deal to do
with the wonderful golf Alex. Smith
plays. for it must keep him constantly
on the alert and in fit golfing con-
dition. BY this l mean that 1t is well
nigh impossible to play a slack stroke.

just like to say that there are several
very fine holes. indeed; the third hole for
instance is some 5oS yards. and from a
well played drive leaves the player
very fine dog-leg second to play over; a
stream, well guarded on the left by
trees. and a hedge and ditch running
parallel to the right all the way up to
the hole. The fourth is also a very fine
two-shot hole with a good undulating
green. The sixth hole Is probably one
of the best golf holes to be found any
where, and. although 1t measures only
143 yards, it requires one of the very
best iron shots to find the green The
tee itself being raised one, carry
over gully and the green is up on
the top plateau green = guarded all
around. There is no possible chance for
the ball to find the green unless actually
placed onto the green from the tee.
