Crabb is willing at anytime to call
1t a masterpiece.
In describing it today, he said:
mo / hole measures 500 yards
and is par five. There are two
cross bunkers It's yards from the
tee that call for a good drive right
from the start. A brassy shot will
bring one within reach of the green
where a trap bunker at the right
and left call for perfect approach
to a beautiful green.
emo. 2, 457. par five, is beautiful
elbow hole with a natural brook $50
yards from the tee. Two bunkers
make this hole very interesting to
the player. The green is built by the
side of woods with a running brook
on two sides which makes a good
water hazard.
"No. 3, 1877, par three, is an
ideal hole for the average player.
No. 4, $50 yards, par four, is an
other excellent elbow hole with a
brook l24 yards from the tee.
The green is perfectly situated i'm
shady woods, a brook winding its
way at the back of the green.
mo. 5, $50 yards. par four, is a
fine two-shot hole with a green zoo
feet long built out from the woods
No. hole is 462 yards long and is
par five. 1t has grass bunkers and
water hazards all the way UP the
fairway to a beautiful rolling green.
mo. 8, 4S5 yards, par five, is an
interesting doyle hole with all
kinds of trouble for the golfer that
does not play straight.
No 8, 184 yards, par three. is a
beautiful short hole cut entirely
through woods, crossing a ravine
to a well-constructed green by the
side of the clubhouse.
1.-THE tee to No 10 is highly sit
uated to the left of the clubhouse.
and from it a player gets a splen-
did view of the beauties of the sur
rounding country. The hole is $50
yards, par five. 1t has a rolling
fairway and a well constructed
green.
"No. II is PA yards, par three,
and is fine ore-shot hole with
an oval shaped green surrounded
also has a rolling faiFWay. inter-
laced with sand traps and brooks.
No. IA and No. Is are two-shOt
holes and Nos 16, lac yards, with
par three, is the trick hole of
the course. The PLAYER can en-
counter all sorts of trouble.
mo. IT, 385 yards, par four. has
q picturesque fairway with woods
at the left for out-of- bounds. The
green is perfectly situated in the
neck of the woods. The tee 10 No
Is commands fine view Of the
clubhouse, water hazards and 4
deep ravine and makes the last
hole a good finish to one of the
best golf courses in the country"
