5 lltJlSMlf the wwi8' outlook WU0SKUBek The putting greens are like a billiard table. A ball travels straight when it is hit right. Running down a long putt is more frequent on sand than on turf greens. The. approaches to these greens, though, require more skill than an ap proach to a turf green. Most players run up the ball instead of pitching it when ever it is possible to do so, but you are required to pitch on many of the greens. It is skillful work to do it well. The Northern golfer playing over the Pine hurst courses becomes a better golfer on his home course as the result of the variety of play he gets at Pinehurst. The caddies at Pinehurst are a delight. They walk right to the ball no matter which direction it has taken in its flight. They know the game. They are the most loyal fellows in the world. They take great interest in your play. These colored laddies live in cabins near the golf courses. The most of them are good singers. They sing all of the time. It makes most golfers think of the minstrel days of Carncross and Dixie. The Golf Club House is provided with hundreds of lockers of the most modern type. They will hold as much as an Innovation trunk as to clothes, besides leaving plenty of room for your shoes and golf bag. If The first tee on each golf course is almost at the doors of the clubhouse. The clubhouse is a very short walking distance from the village, but average golfers, who do not hesitate to tramp four miles following a golf ball, want to ride from the hotel to the clubhouse. Motor busses are there to transport them. The clubhouse itself is very attrctive. There are dining rooms on the second floor where lunch is served to those who do not care to return to their hotels. There are fine shower baths, too. On the second floor is a large music room where a good orchestra plays fre quently on afternoons. The strains of this music are heard as one plays over the different golf courses. Hearing good music does not do anybody's game any harm. It has often inspired me to make a long carry with my brassie. All around the clubhouse are fine porches first and second floors. From the second floor people watch the games being played on the different courses, for the club house sits on an eminence from which there is a splendid view of the sur rounding country. More people have learned to play golf at Pinehurst than at any other place in America. It not only stands for the best there is in golf, but has done much to popularize the game. For five months in each year Pinehurst is the great center of golf aetivity. If Yes, Pinehurst is respon sible for the better health of many for the better, broader spirit of many for a better appreciation of life. It has con tributed to the contentment of thousands upon thousands of people. If you have never participated in the joys of Pinehurst, do so this winter. It is not necessary to advise those who have been there what to do. They go back year after year, wiich of itself is a strong recommendation. 1fYou get there by the Seaboard Air Line without change, leaving here (New York) in the afternoon and arriving there the next morning for breakfast. Full particulars may be ob tained by addressing the Pinehurst Gen eral Office, Pinehurst, North Carolina. AT QUAINT OJLI CAMDElf olf and JPolo Will H Winter's Attractloni at XliU Retort Camden, situated in the heart of the Sandhill region of South Carolina, has figured in history since 1750 when it was settled by a colony of Quackers from Ireland who were attracted by its salu brious and delightful climate.

Camden has two eighteen hole golf courses and is attracting golfers in in creasing numbers. Last season the Coun try Club adjoining the Kirkwood Hotel had an increase of two hundred and ten members. Many matches were played, most of them confined to members of the Club. The fine cottages, many of them of typical Southern architecture, are renting splendidly for the winter; Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Robinson of Paris being compelled to leave there on ac count of the war, Miss "Fredy" Bush, who last summer went to Germany, was also forced to return on account of the war; among those others early assembled. Mrs. William McMillen and family of Cleveland are occupying the DuBose Villa accompanied by Miss Strong, her sister; others including Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hull of Pittsfield, Mass., Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Myers of St. Paul, and Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Judson of Philadelphia. Mr. Judson is an artist and finds most de lightful scenery here. Polo will again be very popular. Messrs. Edmund Burke, Lawrence Hitch cock, L. M. Williams, John Norton, Graham Miles andW. C.
