Marked changes arc being made IN the

than 5000 Yards. and will provide much
better test Of golf
II was only a short time ago that TINS
club. finding real estate operations en-
croaching and the renewal OF the lease
improbable. set about TO purchase the
property occupied by the golf course. ms

John Hobens. of Englewood, former
METROPOLITAN open champion, was engaged
to look over the course and lay out
changes Hobens made good use or a
brook running a few Yards back OF the
clubhouse and in a small valley. THIS
brook marks the border line between tire
village OF Hackensack and the Borough
or haywood There is space FOR nun
drcd yards or so on either side OF the
stream which is marshy in nature and
rather heavily wooded.
on the west side Of the brook the woods
have been cleared away and the marsh
is being transformed into fairway for
new sixth hole, considerably longer than
the present sixth, OF elbow shape and
skir.ing the edge Of a woods with fair
way far too narrow.
The new sixth will have a much wider
fairway, with natural trapping and turf
Of good quality. and the plans further
allow for q better seventh hole crossing
the stream. The links is at present a
trife crowded on some holes. so ii is
planned 20 construct three completely new
ones on the south side OF the railroad aild

the best residences Of the town are To-

provide not only length, but convenience
and far greater room. The seventeenth Is
crowded and is looked upon as trihe
short. II may be abandoned and become
part Of the fifteenth
Another matter is the undernourishment
OF the turf at Hackensack. An attempt
will be made TO produce a turf Of more
prolific nature. and TO this end practically
the whole links mas been covered heavily
with fertlizer.l most OF the green's now
being Of a temporary nature. 1t is the
policy OF the club TO make haste slowly
and not TO undertake more than can be
carried out successfully. BY another sea-
son, however, Hackensack has every as
pect Of being greatly improved.
