I with traps to both right and left. Nos
and 6 will not be touched. but a
| new ninety-foot green will be built
| for No. 7, frightening this hole by
| about forty yards. A trap will be built
behind II. Shallow sand traps will be
| built on either side of the eighth hole
This hole will not be moved, and the
trap will leave clear approach.
| Coming in. No. 9 will not be altered
nor will No. 10. although the length
| Of the hole will be affected by the
| moving OF the tee back about twenty
yards. A bunker to the right and a
trap TO the left has been planned for
| this hole, but these will not be COM
pleted until next year
The present eleventh green will be
used this year. but il is proposed to
build new one on the hill beyond
for 1916. with traps to the right and
just behind ii. The thirteenth hole will
be moved TO the right of the present
one. with traps TO the right, left and
behind. and a bunker in front. the tee
to be moved back, lengthening the
hole about thirty-two yards.
The fourteenth is short hole. but
il will be made more difficult to play
by having bunker and trap built be-
| tween the tee and green the former
to be about fifty feet from the green
anu the Trap on tne near SIDE.
Three small sand pits will be placed
around the fifteenth hole. while :he
Indian Village" will be done away
with on the sixteenth. This already is
trapped. but a bunker will be placed
! between these traps and the green.
There Will be no changes on the
seventeenth. while the home hole viii!
be the same as now used except that a
trap will be placed to the left of the
approach with four small mounds to
the right. These changes will make
the course an exceptionally difficult
one and will in nearly every case bring
the doubtful holes to the full par
value. Eleven of them will require
pitch shots. All of the tees and many
of the green's will he enlarged and.
taken as whole. the course will he
one OF the sportiest in the city when
its natural layout is considered
There has been some objection made
at various times because many of the
holes are placed on top of hills and
In this connection the green commit
tee declares this has been deemed LeC-
essary for the reason that those on
the lower ground overflow during the
rainy period, bringing era -grass, etc
from the woods and hills above, and
thus almost running the greens
