PAGE TEN THE PINEHUBST OUTLOOK The Coming Golf Season “Rise, honest Muse! And sing The Man of Ross/’—Fope. This is undoubtedly the earliest known reference by a poet of prophetic soul to Donald J. Ross, master craftsman of golf course construction. The Muse has risen, frequently, to sing this inspiring subject, and in accordance with annual custom the Muse rises again, and takes up the strain unworthily. For the praise of this Donald of Ross has not, cannot, and never will be adequately voiced by tongue or pen, no matter how thoroughly inspired by honest admiration the eu logist may be. Let the man’s work speak for him. Do not four golf courses in a Southern Sahara speak loudly and eloquently? These are his monument for posterity to gaze on, not words of ours. These his verdant cathedral, his St. Paul's. For he has forever and per manently entwined his personality with the landscape, clasping to his bosom these sunny fountains that roll down golden sands, and insinuating himself lovingly into every bunker. League upon league, over hill and dale, mother earth has felt his cunning hand, taking liberties with this hillock, removing that hollow, levelling another rough place—in short, reconstructing the contour of the surface of this country as it was left to us eons ago by the sea, when it fled eastward and made room for Pinehurst that was to be. All this has The Man of Ross done— and much more. He has been aided and abetted therein by the famous Maples boys, Frank and Angus, who carry out the campaign as the General directs. Ross designs—like Lady Macbeth or Machiavelli; his assistants execute. It is the intention of Mr. Tufts that Pinehurst shall forever hold the palm among the world's golf resorts. To this end Mr. Ross devotes his genius. And his labors this past Summer have borne fruit abundantly. The courses have been maintained in wonderful con dition and this season surpass all ex pectation. It is easy to indulge in superlatives. But it is a fact that, at this present hour, the fair-ways are green as anything Ireland can show, and the turf firm, yet springy, and around the greens fairly free from crab grass. Con formable to wise policy in the past every effort has been made to maintain ex isting courses in perfect condition rather than work out plans for new courses and suffer the old ones to become neg lected and open to criticism. And yet, withal, it has been found possible to open up Course Number Four as a full eighteen-hole course, long promised and long delayed. But it is really here, at last, and here to stay; so come along down before the crowd, and give it the once over. It is perhaps the best laid- out course of the whole bunch and when more thoroughly trapped will tax the skill of the wariest golfer. The old courses, too, will offer many a surprise for the old-timer, for divers changes have been wrought in them here and there just to offer a little variety and to exact nicer play. The anual swatfest (I believe that is the accepted word) has been decreed as follows, to wit: November 25, 26, 27, 28, 29—Fifteenth Annual Autumn Tournament—Qualify ing round and finals, eighteen holes.
