GOLFERS ARE
WAITING FOR
NICE WEATHER
Changes Made in Course
Club Out of Debt-Success-
full Season Looked For

AnXiously awaiting the coming Of
more favorable weather, members OF
the Bismarck Country club are look
ing forward to busy season this
year. Although few Of the more
enthusiastic golf fans have already
been. around the course a number of
times this spring, the majority OF
the players are waiting for the tenn
pcratures to moderate somewhat be-
fore vcnturing out on the fairways.
A few changes are being MADE n
the course this year, which. it is said.
will make the route more acceptable
to everyone and will give Bismarck
rs sporty and attractive "a course AS
can be bound anywhere in the North
west. What was No. green last
season is being eliminated this year
and last years No. 3 green will this
season be No. 2. making this fairway
considerably longer than before.
Mountain" Climb Abandoned
To eliminate the steep climb on
what was formerly No. 8 fnirway, Il
new green is being built to the north
east of the old No. 6 hole, which will
be No. ) in the future, the former
greens Nos. 4 and S becoming Nos.
3 and under the new layout. No.
green will remain the same as before
but will be approached from diff
ferent direction, the play being a
short mashie shot from a high tee.
The location of No. 8 green is be-
ing changed to straightcn out that
fairway somewhat, and the No. Q tee
has been moved to the east side Of
the course so that it will not be in
line with the No. fairway. The
starting tee, No. !, has also been
moved SO that it is nearer the club
house.
The club starts this season entirely
free from debt, which is most en-
couraging to the officers and men,
bers. All past due bills have been
cleaned up this winter and the din
ing room and kitchen addition to the
club house has been paid for in full.
More Land Purchased
The land to the south OF the club
house on which the tennis courts are
located was recently purchased. and
the courts will be improved this
racket game may get just as much
enjoyment out of their club member
ship as do the golfers.
The usual series Of dances for
members of the club will be given
during this season, the first of which
will be a dinner dance some time
during the second week in May. The
definite date will be given out later.
The membership committee, COM
posed of J. c. Taylor, c. j. Lynch,
r. A. Thorberg, DR.. j. O. Arnson and

for new members which will get un-
der way in the near future. The club
