When the 10-year lease was signed which

to stffen and improve the links.

professional, made the suggestions for al
tering the course, and they are being fol.
lowed out by w. ID. Hatch, who is super
intending the work. In speaking of the
changes, Mr.. Warner said: Before we
get through we will make alterations on
all the greens. 1t depends very much upon
the weather when this work will be COM
pleted. If we have fine weather the work
will progress rapidly"
We have acquired new property, and,
are now building all the green's so thtev
don't fall away from you. The pits will
be large and broad. When we finish the
work there won't be a course in this
section of the country to touch 1t. 1t has
been planned to add to the variety OF
the holes; we are doing away with
great deal of parallel play and will have
no cross play. At one hole we now cross
at the 18th and 18th, but we will do away
with that"
