One of the most remarkable features

every classic free style event in the

distance. as we'll as American or world
records for every standard course

The North Hampstead Country Club.

chased the property it has occupied
Tor about three years. The price paid
is said to be between S15O,OO0 and

considering chat the land consists Of
more than 100 acres on the Flower Hill

The golf course, built on this land
and used during the past few years,
surpasses many older coures due TO ex-

Further development may be held down
for the duration of the war, but the
resumption of peace conditions Will
find the North Hampstead Country Club
developing the course to its utmost
On the course is a colonial home

years. This has been put into wonder
ful shape without marring its classic
quaintness, and to-day is used as the
clubhouse Situated in the very heart
of the district. surrounded by Sands

largely drawn. the club promises to be-
