' V Only Newspaper Published In Transylvania County - ' 1 COUNTRY CLUB GOLF COURSE OPENS SOON Community Joining In Putting Project In Good Condi tion For PUy Brevard Country club golf course will be ready for play by the middle of the week, formal opening date being set for next Wednesday. Fairways, greens, roughs and crossings are being put in shape, crews of workmen now engaged in mowing, trimming and rolling the fairways, while another crew is pot ting the greens in first class condi tion. j Expense of reconditioning the, course is being borne by the Cham ber of Commerce and public spirited citizens, who realize the importance of a golf course to a tourist town. The course has been leased from the owners, Henry Carrier, Jos. S. Si. versteen and Randall Everett, for, the sum of one dollar for the year. Original plans were to secure aid from the Federarffcmergency Relief Administration for labor on the i course but this could not be secured; and at a special meeting of the' Chamber bf Qommerce two weeks, ago it was voted to start the work at once on funds provided by the i community. Harry H. Patton, Ralph H. Ramsev and Jerry Jerome were elected by the Chamber of Commerce as a committee to have complete charge of the work. While sufficient funds have not been secured to carry on the work, [ the committee deemed it advisable to | proceed with opening of the course, and take care of the expenses incur-' red. The course was built several years ago at a cost in excess of thirty thousand dollars and title is such that unless it is maintained the land reverts to the original owners, hence the necessity of keeping the course in shape, aside from the fact that it is an essential to tourist business of the county.
