THIS MORNING ON
CITY GOLF COURSE
Engineers Will Make Survey
of Green Springs Park
Without Delay
GOLF EXPERT HALL TO
LAY OFF THE COURSE
Representative Citizens Continue to
Voice Approval of Municipal Golf
Course-Will Complete the
Work at Early Date

Actual work will be started on the
municipal golf course at Green Springs
this morning. A corps Of engineers con-
sisting of r. e. Meade, Assistant City
Engineer Nicholson, r. E. Totten and
John Mayer, will be on the ground to-
day for the purpose of making a
thorough survey of the entire lis
acres.
Immediately after the survey is COM
pleted, which will require two or three
days, a contour map will be drawn and
submitted to C. W. Hall, the golf ex-
pert. who will lay out the course. From
present indications not more than so
days will have elapsed before the golf
course at Green Springs is a reality.
In the meanwhile the citizens of Biz
mingham are enthusiastic over the golf
course. Interest is increasing daily.
Numerous inquiries are being received
at The Age-Herald daily as to the ex-
act time the course will be in condi-
ton for the public to enjoy it's bene-
fits
Lewis Underwood, president of the
Underw ood- Walker Sand and Gravel
company and q son of Senator Oscar
W. Underwood, expressed himself as
being in favor of the municipal golf
course. Daily 1 hear people say they
are glad a golf course is going to be
built in Birmingham. / am like the
rest of these citizens when l say L
hope it will be built as soon as pos
sible," he said. Il believe this city is
one of the most progressive in the
Ut Ii.
golf course is just another step to-
ward exemplifying this fact to the
country. The good that it will do is
we'll known to every man, woman and
child in this community. This is one
of the reasons why they are all for
the proposition I only hope it will only
be a short time before this golf course,
the clubhouse and all, are turned over
to the citizens of Birmingh for their
use"
WILL LEARN TO PLAY
Lon Baker of the Germania Life In
surance company, says he is satisfied
that he will learn to play golf when
the municipal course is opened for the
public II know little. If anything,
about golf but like many other cit
liens in this community I am willing to
learn all L can about the game" he
will undoubtedly promote interest in
all sorts of outdoor sports that will
mean healthier and happier people for
this district. Many of the greatest cities
in the United States have trained phys
ical directors in charge of the promo
ton of outdoor exercises for those
citizens who need this form of amuse-
ment. Playground experts, for the pro-
motion of sports and healthful games
among the citizens, are common these
days. This step of the city of Birming-
ham and The Herald in promot-
ing a golf links. tennis ground and
recreation out of Green Springs is but
a forward step toward greater bene-
fits for the citizens of this commu-
nifty"
Dr. II. A. Elkourie says the golf course
at Green Springs is the thing for this
city 1T is the thing for any city that
wishes to go forward" says DR.. Elkourie.
