offers unusual opportunities for the de-

natural lay of the land is advantageous
to the, building of course that will be
of championship qualities.
There are many sections Of the United
States where real go1i courses cannot be
made without artificial means For in
stance, some of the courses of America
abound in artificial bunkers and valleys.
In the making of the Green Springs
course, these features, necessary for a
good. golf course, are not necessary. /
shall be ready to go to work as soon
as the plans are delivered

ton of cities throughout the United States
for some years. said Sam Sturgeon. real
esate man. 1T will continue to attract
attention SO long as the fostering of an
enterprise of the magnitude of the golf

There is no rea son in the world why
Birmingham should not have this golf
course. All the people are for it. There
is no getting around the fact 1T is the
most popular movement that has been
started here in years. 1 hope to be able
to pursue the devious course of the golf
ball on the Green Springs links within
the next three or four months. The Green
Springs land affords the citizens of Bir-
mingham the opportunity of having one
of the finest courses in the south We
will all go out and take part in the open
ing of this park and it Will mean greater
satisfaction for all the citizens of Biz
mingham.''
DR.. Howell Heflin says the golf course
is the most popular topic in Birrning-
ham today. Every man you meet is in
favor of the golf course. Every idea
that can be brought forth for the bene-
fit of the people has been put into effect
with the exception of adequate facilities
for the recreation of the public, said
DIR. Heflin. 1.-THE entire plan. as sug-
Bested ana adopted Dy me ASe-hefdiu
