2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 guests playing with vesident players. * The annual report of the retiring president, S. Bowles King, affords an excellent insight into the exten- sive progress of the association de] ing the past The -report reads in part: "The healthy gro¥th of the asso- ciation is shown by the fact that 'the first_j¥ar we had 143 members, and this last year the membership bas increased to 338. "I think this compares quite favor- ably with the total number of Ili- cense tags issued by the Park Board, which was about 390 in 1920. Now 18 Hole Course "The outstanding feature of the year has been the completion and opening for play of the second nine holes. While this occurred practical- ly after the conclusion of the sea- son, due to no fault of the Park Board, many of us were able to play over the new course sufficiently to appreciate its beauty and its advan- tages from a golfing standpoint; and to appreciate that another year our privileges and enjoyment will be very greatly increased. The new course will be about the same length as the old one, giving us a total length of about 4,500 yards. While this 71s short, there is a considerable variety ip the holes, and the relief afforded by the new nine will not only make playing more pleasant, but will ac- season. commodate more players, and enable the Park Board to keep both portions of the course in better condition than has been the case when the play over the old nine has been so heavy. "The Sports and Pastime commit- tee is to be cofgratulated on their work in clgssifying the players ac- cording to ability and in handicap- Lone them, The system worked out very well, all things considered dur- ing the past season, and affords an excellent basis for further progress during the new year. Thanks to Merchants "T wish to take this opportunity of thanking the donors of prizes dur- ing the past season for their contri- hutions to our competitions; particu- larly the Park Board for the hand- some cup which they have presented for the second season; and to the merchants of the village for their co-operation in making our Fall competition a success. "During the year we have not only had more players using the course, but the standard of golf, and the standard of sportsmanship has shown a marked progress. The members of the association and the residents of the village have shown by their care in use of the course, and their regard for the privileges of other players, that they realize the extent of the opportunity which they enjoy, and a breach of the regulations or an of- fense against the laws of golfing courtesy has usually been sufficient to stamp the offender as an out- sider. "I wish to again express the thanks of the association to the Park Board for the foresight and broad communi- ty spirit which has made this very enjoyable play field a reality. "It has been the hope of this ad- ministration that the pledge made to the Board in a previous administra- m Street Watch for our advertisment appearing next week for suggestions in Spring Shoes For the best in footwear LOMDAHL'S OOT SHOP tion would be fulfilled. "As the Finance committee has re- ported, the fund has been increased from about $800 to $2,600, and there are some outstanding pledges which will reduce the amount yet to be raised still further. The Park Board has shown itself very appreciative of our efforts in this direction. "During the year certain things which your directors hoped to ac- complish have not been accomplished. Chief among these has been the se- lection and employment of a starter and instructor. The Park Board is particularly. anxious to secure such a man, and I trust the incoming ad- ministration may be able to recom- mend a man for this important task. "The new Board will also find it- self confronted with the desirability of furnishing more adequate provi- sion for protection of members' property as it has proved a great in- convenience not to have a secure locker room during the past season. "The baseball enthusiasts have been less active than the golf play- ers only because their number was fewer. The Winnetka team acquit- ted itself creditably during the league season although it did not stand as far up the list as we could have hoped. "With the assistance of the asso- ciation the erection of a permanent score board was made possible. Fixed bleachers were also on the ground for a portion of the season, and im- North Shore Baths NORTH SHORE HOTEL BUILDING Reducing Treatments a Specialty : GLUT ATT provements were made to the dia- mond. In the Fall a football grid- iron was laid out and considerably used. "In conclusion, I wish to tender my thanks to the directors and officers of the out-going board for their el dial support and for their alert in- terest and activity, which has so largely increased the enjoyment of i all the members of the association during the year.
