i pace 'mmmlt THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK HOST OF US FROM MISSOURI Unrivalled Golf Equipment Typical of Pinehnrst's Accomplishment Practice not Theory, Fulfillment not Promise, Underlie Marvelous Achievement MOST OF US are like "The Man from Missou ri": we want to be shown; we prefer the goods, not the catalog; fact, not fiction; fulfill ment, not promise. Nat urally Pinehurst appeals to the class, for here you find the resort that is anxious to show ; doing business on fact and fulfillment. From its inception this policy has been paramount and the purpose has been practice not theory, results not explana tions, with always the knowledge that there is no standing still ; that there must be progress. Typical of universal accomplishment is golf, its equipment and its prominence ; the culmination of the increasing demands and years of growth. A nine-hole course to start with, soon , increased to eighteen with a supplementary nine, and rapidly followed by a second eighteen holes rank ing among the foremost of the expert championship courses, with its famous holes quoted throughout the golfing world. Then came a third course, laid out in two nine-hole loops, and recently a fourth course on the same plan. Here you have the Pinehurst golf situ ation in few words; interesting history and marvelous achievement. The repu tation of its big tournaments is world wide, yet the mass of players are those to whom the game is "health, wealth and happiness," an investment paying big fu ture dividends, as Mr. Walter Camp so aptly styles it in his explanatory paper on "What Sport Really Means," written especially for this issue during thewriter's sojourn last winter. Efforts of the past summer have been directed towards perfection of the new number four course with the result that six of the first nine holes are now avail able for practise. The usual careful at tention has also been given to the three other courses in the way of planting, to make good for the wear and tear of the thousands who joyously tramp the twelve miles of fair green from November until May. The introduction of water on the courses is an important improvement, a complete system having been installed on number two course and the mains laid on numbers one and three. The opening of the Hotel Carolina and the tournament season will be synony mous this year, the annual autumn tour nament having been moved forward from Thanksgiving week to December 4, 5, 6, and 7. Immediately following the an nual winter tournament will be the annual midwinter meeting of the Adver tising men and throughout the winter the various special events of the Country Club . ana tne extended programs of the Tin Whistles (men) and Silver Foils (women) in addition to the regular schedule. The tennis and trap shooting tournaments are also important, all in all a program which leaves no open dates upon the cal endar from December to May and for which not less than ten thousand dollars worth of trophies will be contested for.

JANUARY IMPORTANT MONTH Pinehurst Inaugurates Tournaments iu Triad of Popular Sports Third Annual Midwinter Tenni Championship JRank with the JLeadlng Contests 7! JANUARY is Pine- hurst's important month national in its promin ence a3 inaugurating the important tournaments of the year in a triad of leadingAmerican sports ; g golf, trap shooting and tennis ; a month replete with interest which, from the standpoint of entertainment attraction for visitors, centers in the third annual Midwinter Tennis Championship scheduled for the full week January 27-February 1. Claim ing general attention from the first, the contest has rapidly advanced to a place among the very few important meetings of the year, its entrants including experts from all sections with play from first round to final of the highest class. Tennis has always been a popular sport here and the Country Club equipment has kept pace with demands. The three courts which the Club house verandas overlook, are perfection and there are also excellent courts adjoining The Carolina and The Holly Inn. The fact also that Pinehurst lies but a night's journey from New York and that the Championship Tournament closely follows fall play in the north, has also contributed to success The program includes singles and doubles for both men and women and mixed doubles with exquisite trophies. Other fixtures include an innovation in the form of the first annual St. Thomas tournament, December 17. 18, 19 and 20v including men's and women's singles, men's and mixed doubles. For February 19, 20 and 21, the usual women's singles are announced, with men's singles Feb ruary 26, 27 and 28, and the annual Pine hurst gold medal Club Championship on March 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, including men's and women's singles, men's and mixed doubles. ItlFJLE AND PISTOL SIIOOT1XQ Informal Handicap Tournaments JLead Up fo Annual Championship' Always a popular incidental attraction in the recreations of the Village, is small calibre rifle and pistol shooting at the range adjoining the Gun Club. While the tournament program is entirely in formal and conducted on handicap lines,. the events are numerous with interest centered in the annual State Champion ship pistol shoot held under the auspices of the United States Revolver Associa tion, each year in March. The range is in charge of an experien ced attendant who gives instruction and the equipment includes rifles and pistols which may be hired by the day or week. Targets and various makes of standard ammunition are also furnished, making it unnecessary to come "armed."
