THE HE'S ONLY OME PINEIIlTIlitT
So ami Itig-lttly 8a jn "Illlly" Irani
In Philadelphia Ledger
There are two things hard to resist in
the game of golf. One is a May day
after a winter free from golf, when the
sun is shining and the links are green
and there is just enough breeze to make
it a delightful day. Another is the call
of the South when our local courses are
frozen hard and a keen winter wind is
blowing. And when you sum up winter
golf there are just three classes of Phila
delphia golfers those who have the time
and the money to go South, those who
have the money but not the time and
who play at Pine Valley, Seaview and
Atlantic City, and those who for various
reasons cannot go to either and stay at
home and play when they can. There is,
of course, another class, and they are
those who put up their clubs in camphor
at the first sign of a frost and do not take
them out until spring makes its official
appearance. But we are not worrying
about that class, f Pinehurst is, always
has been and always will be the mecca of
Southern golfers. Of the thousands who
go South for golf and they come from
every section of this country there are
hundreds who never get any farther
South than Pinehurst, and they are con
tent to stay there. I have been there
twice and I want nothing better in the
way of golf and the physical comforts
that go with them at The Carolina and
the other big hotels. Pinehurst was the
first of the big Southern courses to real
ize that golf was the big drawing card
and virtually the only lure that would
attract the business and professional men
away from the North in the middle of
a busy winter. The chances are more
than ever that most golfers who go
South for the first time go to Pinehurst,
for everyone who plays at Pinehurst is a
booster for that wonderful place. You
cannot help being enthusiastic after you
have been down for a short while and
you cannot help telling your friends
up North about it.
Pinehurst has three courses of 18 holes
each, and six holes of a fourth course
are completed. The courses are a sandy
loam and, like the great majority of the
Southern courses, the greens are of sand.
They are apt to be a trifle hard to play at
first, but when properly swept, as they
always are, the ball goes perfectly true.
There is a great diversity in the holes and
all three courses are well trapped. For
the first time they have succeeded in get
ing grass to grow on them which will be in
good condition through the fall and win
ter season, when they are used by thou
sands of golfers and which will stand
the hot sun's rays in the summer
months when no one plays over them,
f Every ihing at Pinehurst is by sys
tem. Four ball matches do not inter
fere with two ball matches and the be
ginners have as much of a show there as
the best players. It is possible to play
36 holes a day and not feel the effects of
the strenuous tramp, for the soil has a
resiliency that takes awav that tired
feeling characteristic of clayey soils
around Philadelphia. There is just
enough of a nip in the winter air to make
golfing delightful, and it never grows so
warm that one is enervated. Most of
the time the weather is glorious and the
rain disappears from the course almost
as it falls.
