The board of governors of the Kirk
side Golf Club plans to go over its
course within the next week or so
to pass on the proposed changes Whlch
the green committee has suggested and
is putting into effect These changes
will do away with several holes which
now cross one another and will. 1t Is
generally believed, make the course a
much better one. They are accoIh. .
plished mainly by a plan by which the
same holes are used, but played in dIf-
ferent order. practically the only addl-
tions called for being one or two new
tees. AS soon as the board OF govern
ors gives them their 30. X, new cards
will be issued and they Will be put into
effect.
