and shiny golf balls.
How It All Looks.
To show you how it runs:
No. 1880 yards): It is called the
Twin Trees hole. The drive emerges
from wooded tee. It must go
straight and comparatively low.
Otherwise it bounces and banks and
caroms with a chance for g. total loss
of distance and a bad lie. Once out
of the woods you have, from all ind1-
cations, n clean iron to the green. Yes.
you have-a clean iron-and 1t must
be clean. A little to the right a slice
will take to the water-a ball never to
be recovered. A little Iong-again to
left-less water but more willows. 1t
is a par f. Nice If you get it.
No. 2 CTS yards)-A little tippy-
up. you say? No bunkers, to be sure.
A very gentle slope from behind the
built up green. The brook and will
lows on one side, down the entire ITS
yards. Back of the green, the brook.
From the green back to the tee again
on the left-the brooks: 1t is a
perfect horseshoe. Brook, brook,
the thought. A midiron
bounce or roll means a splansh. A
mashie-to be sure. We all know that
a 175-yard mashie is not shot for
D.
takes control and nerve and accuracy
and distance to lay that ball SO that
it peeks at you in all its whiteness
from the rich green background. An
other nice hole-if you make it.
No. (215 yards)-Here is a jolly
little trouble maker. To the green,
us yards. A clean drive with the
wood will take you over-that means
the brook and the willows. (Do you
wonder why the senator chose the
name?) To the left a hook will do
the same. The right side is open-but
and a pitch from the rough MUST
hold. Now let's see. how many balls
have you sunk to this point?
No. (s75 yards)-Take a deep
breath and heave a sigh. Trouble is
over for the moment. No. 4 is a dog
ideal. Out in the open you prance,
swinging your driver and waving good
bye to the brook. Around a clump
of trees and-ye gods! The timber.
Right in its neck the flag! hook
to the woods! An over approach
to the woods! To the woods! oh,
for a tee on a desert land!
No. 5 (430 yards)-Off again with
a clear field for a long drive, giving
plenty of space for slice or hook.
You stand for the second shot. The
flag far up the fairway-to the right
for 100 yards, the brook! Back of
the green-the brook! Farewell, Sill
yer King, farewell. -
No. CHS yards)-where's the
flag? Watch closely-right thru the
little opening in the trees. Green up,
pretty high? oh, yes-on the other
bank of the-my gawd, the brook
againi You stand under a huge cot
tonwood tree. One hundred yards
away across the creek is the green.
High carry to clear the trees. That
isn't bad with a slick mashie. Nav!
Just a sporty little kite. BY the way,
the boundary line is on the far side of
the green. What!i On the left of the
green, dense shrubbery. On the right
of the green a little space. Conf
dential: Doctor West drove six into
the creek. He put so many in the
water that 1t wasn't necessary to use
the bridge. He made regular stepping
stones of shiny balls) A backspin
pitch MUST be PLACED to No. 6. The
senator has named the hole 1.-THE
Brook" Others call it "Verdun' and
the bridge nearby the Bridge OF
Sighs.''
No. (520 yards)-Here's a new
wrinkle in long golf holes. The aver
age long hole calls for a driving
screamer. Not at Willowbrook. Tho
brook faces you again-and for the
last time. To clear the water takes
240-yard carry. Wind never behind
you. Arthur Bonebrake drove six
