Ken Nicks informed this reporter that everything is being, dom te put tht course in the best shape possible for opening day. A complete irrigation systen has been instailed toa ai greens, and heavy fertilization on both the fairweys anid the greens, in being autamtaied. Mr. Nieks stated thet "Il muet lie stressed upon ont and &111 that the general condition of the course this year wiil be arough.. It irs impassible in tht 10 monhs ince Au"ua, lest yeer, le put a course in good playable condition no matter how much labour hem been applied". As Ken said, "Nature takes her own good tir». about growing grass." Two very heavy reins this spring ceused some damage le one green and a portion ut tht fairway, which as a re&uIt wiU be a littie less advenced then the rest o! the course. 'The directors hope that tht golfing public will realïze tiat it takes a number of years to put a golf course in good shape, and have patience. We think that the people will understand, and flot expect e championship layout right away. As a duffeir of several years, inm only lau glad ta be patient. We have a cours. right on our doorstep - thîs tinie last year - nothing. A simail clubhouse will l'e ready for opening day, contes-. ing men's and ladies' washrooms with modern coaveniences. Ini the 1,000 square foot building, there wiil be a smeil lounge and snack bar where refreshments and light lunches will b.e erved. AL pro shop wiil provide tht necessities required to make golfing possible and enjoyable. A fully sereened in veranda will extend acrass tht front o! tht clubhouse. This building is only a' tempurery meesure, until tht permanent clubhouse is built. Bunkers and sand traps are situated in such a position, that tht golfer will have to make good epproech shots. Eech of the greens is e different shape, but the putting surface in evtry case ixi large, covering epproximaely 5,000 square fret or more. Tht general leyout o! tht course may l'e a littît trying for beginners. but the course was dtsig-ned ta make aIl players improve their gaines, and also te make it a challenge. We wauld like ta quote drectly from Ken Nicks, regerding future plans: "All of 1959 and 1960 will b.e oncentrated on bringmng the first aine holes mbt good, playable condition. The feil of 1960 should set a clearin.g of the graund commence for tht second nine hales. While tbis work is proceeding, there will be nu lackening off of bringing tht current fairways into top- notch condition. Tht feil of 1961 should set the second nia. eompleted, and reedy for play the folwlng spring.j When the full 18 holes are in play, a drive for a fulil memn- bership will be inaugurated (if necessary), and work will start on the permanent clubhouse. The large clubhouse will have al facilities for catering, dining accomnnodation, dances, etc. There will be locker rooms with showers and ail the necegtios for a top class country club." Please watch the sports page next week for a omplete description of eeeh hole on the course. t . t . I. i TENNIS EXECUTIVE CHOSEN Lew Rundie wl» be the president of th.
