PENNANT TO REST

EIGHT new GOLF

No less than eight new golf courses
are either in the building or being
planned within the limits of the metro
politsn district at the present time. No
matter what may be said Of business
conditions and sundry other things, the
fact that eight new links will soon be
ready for use illustrates the fact that
golf hereabou,s is rapidly advancing.
Possibly ss many as two dozen new
courses have been constructed within
a radius OF fifty miles OF the New York
City Hall in the last five years. and OF
these a dozen were built IN the last two
years Many links established when
golf was younger have undergone radi-
cal changes, and. II the truth be told.
there are few courses through the re-
gion where some sort of alteration is
not made nearly every season.
Az matter of fact. only one new
course is actually being constructed a.
present, the other seven being planned.
II present calculations are correct, the
Lido links. AZ Long Beach, designed by
Charles r. Macdonald, will be ready for
use in September A great deal OF this
land has been reclaimed from the sea.
