with all these activities" Mr..
Fulbright said today, Il mad
no business taking on the re
sponsibility of directing the at.
fairs of golf club, but 1 feel
that q real public service is per-
formed in doing something to
improve and build up q golf
course. In my opinion few things
add more to human happiness
than to provide additional 0p-
portunity to play the honorable
and ancient game.
"Steps are being taken to
improve the turf, add slightly
to the area of land and to pro-
vide adequate water supply to
guard against a disaster sucn
as last year when the drought
played havoc with greens ana
fairways.
"Bannockburn will continue
to be operated primarily as q
golf course. Club funds are not
expended for social purposes.
All revenue goes on the course
and for house facilities for
golfers"
