The longest hole on the course is No. 10, with 640 yank. The great hill on the course gives golfers some real exercise for which they are more than rewarded by the wonderful view of the Fox river and surrounding country from the No. 8 tee. It is hoped that McHenry will became "golf conscious" this year and enjoy this beautiful recreation spot Next week a series of group leasons will be given the caddies at the club, developing and improving their ability and assuring better service and proper conduct extended to patrone at the course. As a result of these leesena asore caddies are being employed and players, of their own accord, compliment the efficient caddy service at the dub.
