bers OF the Shawnee club for their
success in raising the first $4,000 to be
paid the Country club for the pur-
chase of the Highland Park course

course in Kansas. 1t is a splendid
links laid out for eighteen holes with
enough hills, valleys and natural haz-
ards to interest the most tricky golfer.

siderable expense to the Country club,
it has the making o. an ideal links.
