yesterday. They report that the
final work was completed when

these terrors of golfers. The under
brush thanking the fairWays has
also been cleared.
1--WE want our club to be in the
best shape possible for the tourna-
ment," declares Chairman Clarity,
"and we want it a real test of
golf. With this thought in mind,
we have built three additional traps.
The first is at the left of the No.
IL green and will stop the players
from playing through the adjacent
fairway and approaching to the
green from the left where there is
NO trouble for them.
"The hole, as laid, should be
played on the drive to the right
and then to the left or center
of the green.
T. "The other two traps are at the
No. Is hole, the first about 200
wards from the tee to the left to
catch all hooks. The other Is
located at the right of the green
to catch all the slices. With the
addition of these traps on this hole.
1t is now a difficult and interesting
one"

handsome and valuable trophy to be
played for annually. The trophy
will remain in the club room, with
