IT IS desirable that an expert advise in the selection of ground for a proposed course. In his eyes the undeveloped ground is a finished creation and his experience enables him to determine immediately the most promising site. A modern course requires from one hundred to one hundred and fifty acres, although in some instances, when the tracts have been spread out considerably, very satisfactory lay-outs have placed eighteen holes on a trifle less than ninety acres.

Permit a golf architect of recognized repute to plan the course. There are many possible arrangements on every tract, but he will determine the best one.

Call in a green-keeper and constructor of unquestioned merit. Place in his hands the prints and models prepared by your architect.

Permit your constructor to follow the plans unhampered and without the slightest interference.

Adhere unwaveringly to the expert advice which you have paid for, and use only materials of known and tested excellence.
