will almost prohibit his pitching over
and staying on it.
The tee for the third hole is placed
west of the present seventh putting
green with the hole at the present tenth.
This will make good, stiff two-shot
hole in the neighborhood of AIS yards.
The hole has been improved by series
OF grass gullies and ridges to catch pulled
the present ninth fairway. A bunker
has also been placed to catch a topped
second. Number four will be the pres
ent eleventh, with the present twelfth as
number five.
For the sixth the teeing ground will be
north of the present twelfth green, the
player going from there to the fourteenth
putting green. This hole will be about
80 yards, and as the rolling nature of
the ground will make 1t more or less
difficult. no bunkers will be added. This
arrangement does away entirely with the
present thirteenth putting green. The
present fifteenth hole will be number
seven, while you play from the old six
teenth tee to the green of number seven
teen for the eighth. which viii be the
longest hole on the course, approximately
575 yards. To make it more interesting
a bunker will be built on the left side of
the fairway. about 10 yards from the
tee, and a small trap, to catch a slice
from long driver. will be placed off the
right side of the fairgreen, about TWEEN
ty-five yards farther along. In addi-
ton, a diagonal bunker will be built
across. the entire fairway, about $50
yards from the tee. while in front OF
the green two good sized traps have
been made. One will be on the left.
about forty-five yards from the center
of the green, and the other on the right,
about ten yards less the idea being to
force the player to take chances if he
wants to make good score. a good
drive will carry the bunker on the left,
about 40 yards from the tee. He then
has, short carry over the diagonal
bunker, and a good second will enable
him to reach the green on his third. On
the other hand, any one playing safe is
almost sure to get in trouble. TO the
right, his tee shot is confronted with
the diagonal bunker. which It is almost
impossible to clear on his second. II he
fails, he can't carry the traps in front of
the green and get on in three This
should make a decidedly interesting hole
and something entirely new in local golf
The present eighteenth hole will be the
new ninth.
Starting. on the homeward trip, what
are now Nos. 3, 4. 3 and 6, will be the
tenth, eleventh; twelfth and thirteenth.
tee viii be found south of the present
sixth putting green. with the hole due
west. with II easy ma SHE distance of The
green. which is very ingeniously situated
in triangle of two water bitches. qua rd-
ed on the right by mounds. The best
side to approach this green will be from
the left of the fairway. and 10 make the
player earn this position a trap will be
placed SO as to catch Slightly hooked
tee shots. while the right of the course
will be bunkered to catch slices This is
another sporty hole and one which play
ers in medal competitions will be glad 10
have behind them. The present eighth
hole will be No. IL. while the sixteenth
will he what is now No. g. The grass
ridges and hollows to punish pulled tee
shots on the new third will also take
care of pulled seconds on this one.
The tee for No II will be southeast of
the present seventh putting green, and
the green Will be placed between the
present first and sixth. This. too, should
make an interesting hole, nasmuch as {,
player must make good tee shot in
order TO have Il view of the green on his
second, which will be a short running
one down hill between two bunkers A
poor drive will leave you with one or
the other of these bunkers between the
ball and the hole. The present second
hole will be the eighteenth.
The course under the new arrange
ment should prove to be very attrac-
tive and will make it more near what
a championship" course is than ever
before. Work has been pushed along
in record time and it is now expected
that the new course will be ready for
use about April 90.
