Winter Golf

In the meanwhile the South is ready
for the big army of golf tourists who
are already beginning TO point in a
southerly direction.
There are two varieties OF winter
rolf-one. the Florida type Tor those
who desire their summers on into
midwinter; the other, the Carolina
and Georgia type, that prefer more
bracing weather and don't mind few
occasional dips below the freezing
point.
Florida Is rapidly developing into
one vast golf course. II one cares for
golf weather, warm and woolly, such
as grandmother used TO knit, there
are Belleair, Palm Beach and other
favored spots. Probably the best Flor
ida course to be found now is at Belle
air. where Donald Ross has arranged a
championship stretch. a hard test for
any man. where the green's are made
OF regular grass in place Of the sand
that has been the bulk OF Florida's
vegetation for many centuries, II not
longer.
But Belleair isn't the only spot for
testing golf. Over at Mountain Lake,
about 30 miles east from Belleair,
there is another course about ready

Who are those eager faced drifters
who are now headed South? AS we'll
known bard has put it
"Only the race that is loved OF heaven,
Whose path is the Ancient Green;
Those who are buoyed by the heather's
heaven,
Whose brand is the iron keen;
Only the race with the brassie face
Who follows the sphere in a long
stern chase,
Who still put out rs the stars OF
heaven
Put out TO the twilight teen"
There was day not so long ago
when those golfers heading South had
one or two first class places to head
for.
To-day golf courses are popping up
with such swiftness in all sections OF
the country that the u. S. of A. will
soon be nothing but well trapped.

II was in Atlanta that Bobby Jones,

1916 sensations, developed their skill.
But New Orleans can boast courses
good enough to have developed such
golfers as Nelson Whitney and Reuben

Moving on further West, Texas and
California have enough golf courses

Further North

There is golf in abundance at Jack

other Florida centres. But there IS
equally good golf further north-at
Pinehurst, Atlanta, Ga; Augusta, and
at Charleston and other South Carolina
courses.
The best golf further north is to be
found in Atlanta, Pinehurst and Au-
gusta.
Atlanta has two championship
courses. in East Lake and Druid Hills,
both fine tests that provide all the
thrills the average tourist is looking
for. Pinehurst, also, has two cham
pionship courses, in addition 20 two
others not so hard.
These two test courses, laid out by

was discharged. The nautical angora
Immediately displayed signs of extreme

string goat, hardly up in its signal
practice, and il did not know just what
it was up against.
The opening engagement was swift
and spectacular enough. Captain Ward,
who lost the toss, kicked oil for the
Navy. 1t was a beautifully directed
boot and it scared down to the lO-yarG
line of the Army.
There Cadet Oliphant, the compactly
built, almost squat cadet, picked the
ball up and nursed it carefully under
his left arm. In the meantime the
Army men were picking off the advanc-
ing tacklers of the Navy. They were
picking them off with skill and pre-
cision. Oiphsnt lodged behind Vidal
and eluded two Navy ends.
Then he surged ahead, running swift
ly, but coolly, in direct line to the
centre Of the field. There he was mem
aced by two of the Navy backs, and he
turned to the left, running just inside
the lines. IL seemed that he melted
away from the surging blue jerseys,
and the blue and yellow legged Navy
men seemed standing still as he passed
through them.
Blue Jerseys surged after him. Blue
sleeves seemed 20 circle him for an in
slant, but he crashed ahead with the
certainty and speed OF tank running
amuck over a broken skirmish field
The blue Jerseys were left behind, all
but one. That covered Fisher, of the
Navy. who dropped Oliphsnt just as
another plunge would have carried him
across the goal line for the touch
down.
Two Rushes Turn Trick
Two more rushes took the ball over
and 10 was Oliphant who pressed the
ball into the turf behind the Navy goal
line. IL had all happened in two min
utes. In fact, II was over before Sec
rotary Daniels mad concluded his neat
encomium upon the marching OF the
midshipmen.
Oiphant tried to kick a goal, but
missed by inches. II was TO 0, and
the agitation of the blanketed Navy
goat was pitiful in the extreme.
At this point it looked as though
there would be a rout, and that the
Army would pile up one OF the highest
