PAGE HfgtaifTHE PINEHURST OUTLOOK glKMflMf 2 AMERICA'S ST. ANDREWS Spirit of Golf and the Golfer is in the Mr at Pinehnrst. ISdaion'i Tournament Program ait Important One-Coumd Iieng'th ened and Improved. O -WELL established is Tinehurst's golfing prom inence, not 6nly locally, but nationally and even inter-nationally, that it seems but idle to dwell upon it. With two contests each season which are universally recognized to close and open the country's important tourna ments, and which attract players from the entire length and breadth of the land, and a course unquestionably the finest in the air and it radiates a wholesome love for fresh air and sunshine which is gen erally beneficial and felt throughout the entire Village. Tournaments have come as a natural consequence, the mid-winter and United North and South championship being the outgrowth of a general demand among the experts who annually assemble here. Not only has the number of events in creased, but the standard of competitive golf has been raised each year. With a view to centralizing interest on a few important event3 the Board of Gov ernors have, this season, decided upon seven leading events which will begin in November and continue, into April, clos ing with the championship tournament. These contests are all match play, scratch, events, the recognized test of golf, and a wealth of beautiful trophies have been provided. In addition to the stated program there will be as usual, the numerous handicap tournaments, mixed foursomes and vari- by hunting for foozled balls in the springy bog, as of yore. A new trap will guard Number two green, at the right, and there will be traps at both the right and left of Number six. Another trap will catch a slice tee shot on the eighteenth, and a sliced approach will be looked after in a similar way. Many of the existing traps have been deepened and widened. ' The smaller nine-hole course which was lengthened iast season, is now in ex cellent condition and will prove most at tractive for the many who da not desire as strenuous a game as the championship course provides. The total length of the course is 2380 yards, many hazards, pits and traps giving it sportiness and attrac tiveness. The new distances by holes are as follows : 1, 425 yards ; 2, 160 ; 3, 335 ; 4, 330; 5, 220; 6, 335; 7. 160; 8, 225; 9, 190. THE STATED FIXTURES.

From early morning until late at night during the season, day in and day out, a line of players may be found starting from the first tee as others finish on the home green, close by, while golfers and non golfers throng the club house, or bask in the sunshine on its broad verandas. The regular Saturday afternoon teas at the Country Club house are among the most popular of the many informal social events which are a feature of life here, hundreds flocking weekly to enjoy good fellowship, music and refreshment. The spirit of golf and the golfer is in GALLERY FOLLOWING AN I ous frolics which are annually arranged by the busy Tin Whistles or golfers in search of novelty, combining to make a season brim full of events which will in terest both the competitive and the non competitive golfer, and the Village guests in general.
