8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 DESCRIBE PLAYMORE LINKS HOLE BY HOLE New Community Course to Have 18 Holes Interest surrounding the establish- ment of the new Playmore golf course, three miles west of Wilmette, is rife now that Edward Zipf, Wilmette vil- lage president and one of the spon- sors and officers of the proposed course, has announced that the club is to be a reality and projected by North Shore peopie to the exclusion of outside interests, The course, upon which actual con- struction work is to begin in the near future, is to be designed by George O'Neill, one of the best known golf experts in the country. Leading pro- fessionals have promised to assist in the arrangement of the links, which, it is promised, will be ready for play in the spring. An architect's sketch of the proposed course gives the following description of the holes: Hole One--400 Yards--Par 4 Hole number one is most inviting, faces the east and runs parallel with the road, the south edge of the fair- way being 25 feet from the property line leaving ample room for a sliced ball. One the right hand side of the fairway the course is trapped at 175 yards and at 225 yards. On the left hand side of the fairway is found traps at 220 yards and 350 yards. The putting green is raised four feet at the back and is trapped on both sides. The green is large and irregular in shape, ralling away toward the tee. A long drive and a well placed iron shot will give the star a chance for a birdie. The average golfer will find this a good four hole. Hole Two--310 Yards--Par 4 This hole is algo inviting, going north away from the fence on the right, it will be difficult even for a sliced ball to reach the out-of-bounds line. This green is only raised slight ly at the back and has plenty of na- tural contour. It is protected by traps on all sides which calls for an accurate second shot. An average drive and a well placed mashie shot will give two putts for a par 4. Hole Three--520 Yards--Par 5 Here is where Mr. Long Player picks up an advantage but he must shoot straight and toward the left -- hand side of the fairway. The tee is so placed that a slice is penalized. Bhi~ hein ~1 'fal example of nature, going straight through an opening in the woods, the trees call for straight shots. This green is go- ing to cause trouble for many as the slope runs back and will cause the ball to run past the cup. It will be something like the green on No. 3 liole at Glen View but without the hill in front of the approach. On this hole a brassie is used for the second shot. Due to the lay-out of the fairway, the fence and the contour of the putting green, this will at all times be a good par 5. 2 Hole Four--385 Yards--Par 4 This tee is approached via a bridge as the North Branch river caused the architect to build up this tee some five feet. Again due to the river there is a fine dog-leg hole to the right. This will meet the approval of those who slice. Because of this arrangement a slice is not severely penalized. The green is located in a beautiful grove of trees and is only slightly raised. Tt is well trapped on two' sides and a long iron shot must reach the green on be in trouble. If the second shot sticks on the green you have two putts for a par 4. Hole Five--125 Yards--Par 3 This is a wonderful short hole. The green is encircled with a trap in a circus ring effect. The tee shot must find the green and a topped ball will find the sand traps. The shot from the tee is made through an opening in the trees. This is an easy par 3, if -- --? Hole Six--410 Yards--Par 4 On the left side of the fairway is a large wooded tract owned by the forest preserve, which will always furnish character for the sixth hole. Two well placed shots will give an easy approach to the green, which is raised and trapped on two sides. This is a good recovery hole and an easy par 4. Hole Seven--485 Yards--Par 4 The sketch shows a short dog-leg shot from the tee. This will be chanced so as to straighten the fairway, mak- ing it possible to "get home" in two good wallops. The green is perfectly flat and has three open traps, two in front on each side of the approach and one big trap at the rear to catch those who are bold on the pitch shot. This hole is a hard par 4. Hole Eight--165 Yards--Par 3 Here the tee is placed so that the tee shot must go straight. The green is guarded perfectly, and is raised six feet at the rear. The screen is large and will be inviting for a good iron shot. It is either an easy par 3 or a badly played 5 if the traps are found. Hole Nine--330 Yards--Par 4 This tee is placed at the right of a bunch of trees and the fairway slight- at ly dog-legged through a nice grove of trees and bushes. A sliced ball will not be out of bounds as the club prop- erty extends south to Lake avenue. A good tee shot will leave the player facing a green well guarded and rais- ed so that the second shot calls for a high pitch and back spin. The ninth green takes the player back to the clubhouse. Reflecting: on the nine holes just reviewed it is found that par 36 is pretty stiff. Also in going back over the holes played we find that we used our driver, brassie (spoon if we landed in the rough on holes 3, 6 or 7 midiron, mashie iron, mashie (niblick if trapg were found on holes 5 and 8) and of course only 15 putts were allowed. So the first nine holes called upon us to exercise the use of eight clubs and we find a well, played card of 38. Next week, for those interested in Playmore, we will take a trip around the second nine holes where we will find some original holes calling for keen judgment and nerve. If you wish information about the Playmore Golf club send your name and address. to Peter N. Jans, secre- tary, 2019 Ridge ave. Membership may be obtained at $50 per year. Hole Number 10--325 Yards--Par 4. After taking more than 40 on the first nine, here at the tenth tee we face the land of "New Hope," and a more inviting starting point would be hard to find. The drive is straight down the middle from a group of trees, out into the open. The putting green is completely surrounded by trees except for the narrow approach, and this is trapped to the right and left in front of the green, the green itself being slightly rolling. This will prove interesting to those who like a little sport on the green. A four on vour card at this hole will be welcome at all times. Hole Number 11--405 Yards--Par 4. This tee is so placed that the long driver must be accurate, as at about 240 yards the fairway is graced with large trees on both sides. The second shot is out into the open. The green is built up, and trapped on three sides. A straight drive, a long iron or spoon and two putts gives us a par four. Hole Number 13--490 Yards--Par 5. This tee and the first shot of 220 yards is in the open,(now a corn field) your brassie goes into the woods, where you find large beautiful trees, and shrubs on both sides of the fair way. Two large traps guard the green, so that our mashie shot must be well up. The green is large and flat, so a par five is easy. Hole Number 13--180 Yards--Par 3. Here we face a dandy iron shot hole. Two large trees about 50 yards in front of the green call for a high, wide and careful tee shot. The green is built up, much like an inverted soup plate, feathering down to the traps on three sides. This is a hard three hole. Hole Number 14--420 Yards--Par 4. This hole was built by nature. The fairway has been laid out, and de- fined by trees on both sides, to within 60 yards of the green, which is in the open to the right of a large torn apple tree. There is room on this hole for a large water hazard, and if Mr. Bendelo, the architect decides to place it there, it will be a very hard four hole. Hole Number 15--315 Yards--Par 4. The tee is under the torn apple tree referred to in Hole 14, and the fair- way runs south to the north line of the fairway on number one. This is a very simple hole, and will always be looked forward to in all matches. This is an easy par four. Hole Number 16--500 Yards--Par 5. The drive on this hole need not be straight, as a player can drive over "Hill's Half acre," and still be able to send his brassie shot well up into the trees outlining the fairway, from 260 yards up to the green. A cluster of small trees makes this green very attractive: it is small and circular in shape, which makes it a hard five. Hole Number 17--110 Yards--Par 5. You will simply have to visit the grounds, and judge this hole for your- self. Many of the golfers who have been on the grounds, as well as the architect say that this hole will be the most popular. Only 110 yards long. The green raised six feet at the back, square in shape, large and de- ceptive in appearance, it requires all the nerve a golfer has, because no less than twelve big trees are only 25 yards in front of the tee directly in line of play which means you can Dr. Charles E.

Hole Number 18--650 Yards--Par 6. Home sweet home, and it's a long, long trail home; it takes three good stiff wood shots to reach the green, which is located in front of the club house. Your tee shot and first brassie will take you to to the edge of the woods, and your third shot should be played from a point where you can play toward the green, as this is a real dog-legged hole--a fine test of golf. The green is large and rolling so that a six on your card looks mighty good. Back at the clubhouse at the nine- teenth hole, (Yes! there is a nine- teenth hole, and our good friend Greg ory won't object, because it is a prac- tice hole thoughtfully planned by Tom Bendelow. the golf course architect. Before hitting the showers, we will take a seat on the porch and discuss our first eighteen holes. You will find a 40 good golf for the stars on the second nine; with a 38 on the first the average man will be proud of a 78 at Playmore. By studying the map, and following this description, you have a picture of what Playmore will be. All this is out in the woods where the air is the best, where nature gives us many things to admire, where a man may bring his wife and family to enjoy the Forest Preserve, while he plays his round of golf, joining his family for a picnic in the woods which borders the golf course on three sides. The Forest Preserve Board is inter ested in the people making use of the Forest and Playgrounds, and a Rail: road station named "Playmore," Ill inois, at Lake avenue, with service on the Waukegan division of the C. & N. W. road will enable thousands to en- joy the Preserve at the location sur- rounding the Playmore club. WOMAN CANDIDATE HASN'T HAD PHOTO IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS Defiance, Ohio--"I haven't any photograph--haven't had any for twenty-five years. 1 don't know that 1 will have any, unless it's necessary for cards, or something." Thus Mrs. Merian 8. Deatrick, Republican nominee for county re- corder, greeted newspaper reporters seeking "art" for the election stories about her. Mrs. Deatrick admitted that, if the men who manage the party campaign decree that a woman politician must have her picture on campaign publicity, the camera must then be faced. But--just for a news- paper story? Well, hardly. 3 Mrs. Deatrick is opposed for the office by Roy D. Cameron, Democrat. At the recent primary Cameron de- feated Miss Robe Heatley for the nomination. CAR HITS MAN-HOLE AND TURNS TURTLE W. E. Davis, Jr., living on a private road in Hubbard Woods hit a man- hole, on Foxdale, north of Humboldt street, Tuesday evening, and his car tipped over on one side. A car im- mediately following nearly smashed into the car as it lay on its side. Mr. Davis was cut about the face, but no serious injuries resulted. The car was badly damaged. There had been a large amount of road work done on the highway, and some of the curbing was displaced, making driv- ing difficult. The moonlight shining on the road also added to the difficul- ty of proceeding along the way. Bar- ricades which the contractor had placed on the highway were not up, although red lights warned motorists of the danger. Officers went to the scene of 'the accident immediately after the crash, but no one was de- tained.
