3 PUBLICITY has been
aptly styled "Reputa
tion on the Move ! "
f The best example to
day is Pinehurst golf for
not alone is its reputa
tion international but by
example, it has made the
ancient Scottish game
the modern resort recreation ; winter and
summer. T Fame is very largely estab
lished through indications, and among
the many in this particular instance we
note a California golfing resort which
styles itself "The Pinehurst of the
Pacific.'' A few weeks ago Mr. Henry S.
Hale, the millionaire owner of The Bals
ams, farthest north of White Mountain
resorts, told me his ambition was to make
Dixville Notch "The Summer Resort
Pinehurst." To bring this about he is
building an eighteen hole course which
golfers are already "talking about" in
spite of the fact that only nine holes are
promised in completed condition for the
summer season of 1914. Further, Mr. Hale
knows just where he will locate a second
course which he feels quite sure will fol
low, and course No. 1 has been laid out
with this idea in mind. Not long ago I
learned that conservative Poland Spring
was increasing its nine hole course to
eighteen in recognition of the fact that
golf is the leader among recreations en
joyed by guests at this famous American
Spa. I might go on indefinitely.
Years ago Pinehurst paid Scottish
tribute as "American's St. Andrews."
Today a Western winter and a Northern
summer resort return the compliment
"Reputation on the Move ! " Not alone
to the tournament and the non-tournament
player does the game here appeal
as "golf for golf's sake" but best of all,
it adds yearly to its ranks hundreds from
all classes who have not known its pleas
ures. Herein lies the direct influence
which Pinehurst golf has exerted in the
national resort field. Two clubs for men
and women within a club, indicate the
game's popularity. Three eighteen hole
courses and a fourth in process of con
struction, with six holes open for practise
play, but suggest the equipment. We use
the word advisedly for golf here is like
the Yellowstone, it must be seen to be
appreciated. Pen description is idle
unecessary its reputation is established.
At least a dozen members of your own
club have told you all about it. What
can we add in the way of detailed infor
mation except an outline of the summer's
work which is printed on page 12, and
the season's program of tournameats :
