Edgerton Country club, March 18th, a
representative gathering of members
heard reports of secretary, treasurer
and committees, elected officers, adopt
ed a set of bylaws and transacted
other business of vital interest to the
success and prosperity of the club.

Mr.. Dave Wilson, expert of the Blue
Mound Golf club of Milwaukee, had
come out to attend the meeting. He
had gone over the Edgerton course and
pronounced it very attractive one and
already in a very acceptable condition
for the playing of the game. Not the
exclusiveness, the cost of membership
nor the frills and fangles of the club
house are the chief thing in golf, but the
game itself with the development of
comradeship among it's members His
good sense and enthusiasm for the
game won him the hearts of all pres
ent. He advised that the Edgerton
club have an expert during the coming
season to look after the best interests
Of the course and the game, give les
sons, repair sticks and balls, and other
wise devote his time to the perfection
of things in general of the layout.
1t was resolved to engage such per-
son. Mr.. Wilson thought that very
good man could be had for $780, per
month if taken seven months, or $65. 90
for six months, and he promised to as
sist in finding the right sort of man.
The committee on club house and
other improvements reported that
club house, 24x3O with full basement,
two showers, lavatories and locker
room in the same, and one large upper
room with a good floor and boarded
walls, could be built for $500. The
committee was instructed to go ahead
and build.
Waterpipe for sprinkling the greens
and for fountains have been purchased
and will be laid in the near future
The club has the funds available to
make the above mentioned improve
ments.
1t was decided to put up tool she'd,
the building committee to use it's own
good judgment as to the type required.
The president was instructed to name
three to act as finance and member
ship committee.

fees to be paid by members and nom

operation as country club.
