GOLFERS

AT TIE present. lIIIe, WileIe ScNcIdi
hole golf courses are grouped in one
playground is at Pinehurst. \. g.,
which is several hundred miles from
Broadway.
How about having a similar GOLF
PLAYGROUND thirty miles from
Broadway?
You are to have such IA Golf Play
ground.
The big difference between the
Pinehurst Golf Park and the New
York Golf Park will be the price OF
getting to the latter-the cost of play
ing at the latter-and the cost of
staying al the latter. The difference
is very great. The cost of two e
at Pinehurst will pay for at least fifty
days of golf at the New York Golf
Park.
The several iS-hole courses of the
NEW YORK GOLF PARK will be
very much better thar the Pinehurst
courses because the soil is better suited
to golf purposes. At P%inehurst they
have sand putting green's, and it is
difficult to grow any turf through the
fair greens. The New York Golf PARK
will have fine grass greens and Won
derful turf.
Pinehurst is a very popular golfing
center because many people can play
there with comfOrt-because the
courses are kept in fine c~Ondition-and
because playing over them is managed
in a business-like way.
The popularity of playing golf at
Pinehurst and the great financial sue.
cess which has come to that place
prompted the idea Of establishing the
NEW YORK GOLF PARK.
Pinehurst started with one 9-hole
course several years ago. Then fol-
lowed the development of an 1S-hOle
course; then the second and third H.
hole courses. Now a fourth 1S-hole
course is in process of construction.
The courses are literally %patronized
by people from all parts of the United
States from the middle of October until
the middle of April. There is no play
ing from May to October because it is
too hot.
Golf can be played at the NEW
YORK GOLF PARK all the year
round. barring the short period when
the courses are covered with snow.
This golf park will also be literally
p~atroniZed. 1t should be a greater
financial success than Pinehurst, be-
cause Of more courses. more players
and its close proximity to New York,
l. l. L.. ,,,,, ,,1fSy.s than any nfhp1s
community in the United States.
The cost of developing it will not be
nearly so great as was the original cost
,f starting the Pinehurst enterprise
and developing the 9-hole course there.
THE NEW YORK GOLF PARK
will be located at MASSAPEQUA. l.. l.
Five hundred and siXty-twO acres of
land have been purchased from the
Nassapeuua Shore Co., which is Suf-
ticient for the construction OF five very
fine lS-hole golf courses. besides allow
ing 20 acres or nor for the site of the
M~assapeQua Players Inn.
The ground around the Inn will be
beautifully laid out with "A fine lawn.
putting greens. tennis ana Squash
courts. automobile park and garage.
etc.
A company has been organized
MASSAPEQUA GOLF. lNC.-which
is capitalized for 81, 900. 0O0-lO0.O 600
shares Of Common Stock at $1,000 the
share.
The acreage was purchased at a
cost of 100000. Not one dollar in
cash was paid down.
The MaSsapequa Shore Co.-real-
izing the benefits that will accrue to
its other realty holdings in the neigh
borhood through the development of
this Golf Park-acccpted as FIRST pay.
ment $l5O,OOO of Stock in MASSAGE
qua Golf, Inc.
a second payment of $50. 900
this time in cash-is to be made on or
before July !, 1916.
The balance, 100000, may remain ON
first mortgage for ten years, if desired.
The property purchased is conceded
t. be worth a great deal more than the
price paid for il. 1t has been appraised
as high as $S9S 600.
