nentS. While justly proud Of
their well-earned victory, the
local players are praising the con-

received wonderful treatment
from their hosts.
Tony Sylvester. Bannockburn
pro, who piloted the team to the
little Virginia town, couldn't find
words enough to describe the
splendid course. Here's what he
says Of it:
"The PurcelIvilIe layout is
one Of the prettiest and best
courses I've seen since coming
here from New York. / have
never seen such green's in this
section. They are large and
as smooth as q billiard table.
Really they have to be seen
and played over to be properly
appreciated. And the course is
In remarkable condition, too,
the fairways are excellent and
In all it is q very beautiful
course.

Greenskeepers and golfers alike
are all smiles today as the result
Of yesterdays providential showers
which have improved the courses
tremendously. The heavy rain
does more good to the greens
than all the artificial sprinkline
the greenSkeepers can do. Al
the same time it did the burning
fairwayS a world Of good. The
golfers can go out and hit ar
iron shot now and feel reasonably
sure about 1t.
