Golf Takes Big Boom in
Mobiles Country Arena.
Midnight Ends Tourney
CLAREY GETS MORE sss
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

The little. old farmhouse that now serves
as the boundary oe the glory of the Lu Lu
Temple Country Club, at Edge Hill, is to
go by the board in the fall II will give
way to one of the most elaborate country
clubhouses in the city. The present quar-
ters of the club have been found to be far
too small
The plans of the new clubhouse, as
drawn up by the architects, show a thor
oughly modern building of English Colon
ial design. 1t will probably be of stone.
There will be large ballroom, card rooms,
splendid dining hall and billiard rooms.
Many of the shrners favor a swimming
pool, and 1t is possible that one will be
built in the basement
The location will probably be to the east
on the heights to overlook the course.
Nine more holes will be added at the end
of the present season, so that the course
will be Is holes.
Holes Shifted
It is probable that the entire outlay OF
the links will be changed around, The
course at the present time is too con-
denscd, the Mobiles contend. and too many
of the holes are parallel. This has made
necessary the fixing of out-of-bounds posts
between all fairways.
The renovated course will be one of the
best of the many courses in the city. This
present short seventh will he one hole
which will remain as 1t is. except that
the tee will be raised about six feet. The
tee may also be set back, though there
is much discussion on this point. With the
tee raised the hole will be a triumph. 1t
takes a perfect touch to make the shot
and the player either has a sure three or
a sure anything up TO so. Some splendid
new holes have been planned and the
Mobiles will spare no efforts or cost to make
the remodeled course of championship
calibre while they're about 1t.
Live-Wire Umbenhauer Busy
In no other club has golf monopelize1
the attention of the members in such q
short time as It has at Lu Lu under such
conditions. When the club was first started
most of the members considered 1t good
objective for n motor trip. Few of them
had ever seen a golf match, much less
played, but now there's not one of the 2eV
members that hasn't set his teeth and tried
his hand with the result that the club Is
| overfowing with fanatics. bill" umben-
| hauer is the leading spirit when 1t comes
| to golf and he keeps things moving in
| great shape.
He plans the tournaments and lines up
| the backward players that need urging to
| play. Many of the Shrners who played
golf for the first time last fall made a
| good showing in the present tourney. COLI
| is mayed for fun there, and no mistake.
| Last year a yipHing gallery followed the
| finals around yelling at every shot as though
| ii were at baseball game. Mayor SInlth
| is one of the most enthusiastic of the Lu
Luers, and he is a constant player with the
Wares and other famous folk
Members Overflow Club
The club is fairly overhowing with MEM
bers on Thursdays. ladies' day, and Satur-
| days. on nearly every one of these days
more than 200 people get their dinners az
| the club There is music, dancing, movies
| and, more than anything else, golf. a
| notorious and teams have frantic time OF
it carrying the Mobiles to and from the
| station.
| Much work has been done on the pres
| ent course this year and the Greens Cons
mittee have had a hard time getting the
| course in shape for the tourney there that
| ends today. Some of the fairways were
entirely resodded and most of the greens
| were resodded so that the course naturally
! is still a little rough in spots. This makes
| the golf of Edward c. Clarey the golf
giant of Jersey, all the more remarkable
He had another round of SS yesterday
against Hugh Wiloughby in their match
Willoughby drew some heartrendlng lies
that put him out of it. The tourney ends at
midnight with some reel" movies and
other cheering things.
