Course PIea.es Golfers.
The newly arranged course met with
the enthusiastic approval of all en-
trants in tournaments. Only four holes
OF the old course remain. The others
furnish variety enough and nre very ex
cellent tests of golf without being lrap-
ped to death
Additional time will be needed to get
the best of fairways though they are
very good everywhere. The putting
green's are excellent. In most cases they
are rather spacious. Offering a fine open
target for firing approaches.
With the national course lying ad-
jacent several who qualified early
drove over and had another round at the
latter course. The stiffness of the
course was heartily attested on the re-
turn of these players.
