The west course at the Merton Cricket
Club while few hundred yards shorter
than the old east course, is a much more
dfncult test OF golf The old course has
always been considered one OF the most
difficult in the Philadelphia district and
the difference between It and the new
course one has to place his tee shots
difference in length In playing the new
course one has to place their tee shots
with rare accuracy In order TO open up
the greens for the second shots.
The sixth holo-125 yards-is perhaps the
prettiest and at the came time one OF
the most difficult short holes I'm the coun-
try The green Is 30 yards below tn" tee,

kerchief variety, and in front of it is the

is hole that one can make In either two

The seventh hole S somewhat similar
to the eighth at the Cricket Club, but re-
versed. out of bounds Is to the right,
and the creek is TO the left crossing
directly in front of the green. In order
to get out OF the valley the payer mas "
long carry from the eighth tee but
slightly pulled ball will roll right down
into the valley again. and sliced ball
will be stymed by trees.
The same creek flows in front OF the
tenth green and here the player has
choice Of two methods. The hole is par
$40 yards. and the less vcnturcsome
player will be contented to place the sec
ond short of the green and try to run the
approach dead for a possible four and
a sure FIVE. Occasionally the bold player
will lash out bravely for the green on
the second shot. but unless the drive is
of more than average length the first pro-
redure is the better.
When everything Is considered. the west
course at Merton calls for every possible
shot in the bag and the player is called
upon to get away from every tee in good
shape in order to make good score pos
sble.
