IT SEEMS TO ME that he, who plans any hole for golf, should have two aims: first, to produce something which will provide a true test of the game, and then consider every conceivable way to make it as beautiful as possible. He should have in mind not only the skill and brawn of golfers but their eyes as well. It may be that it is the combination of a fine sense of shots and the appreciation of Nature's charm, which enables one man to climb to greater heights than can another, in whom is lacking an eye for the beautiful or perhaps an utter disregard of it in the solitary effort to build something that will test play. Certainly the playing qualities of any hole must be the first consideration, and there can be no comparison between the work of one who has adhered solely to it and that of the master of landscaping, who possesses a general idea of the requirements of modem golf. There are many truly picturesque courses which are otherwise undistinguished, and there are fine tests of golf as devoid of beauty as Mary Ellen's calico. Any real player would not speak of them in the same breath. But is it not a fact, that the great courses, those that are talked of most, combine both qualities?
