E[ -Work in the rnnstrurtion of the I first eighteen hole golf course, for | Ocean City Country Huh at SomY! ers Point, has proceeded to the extent that Willie Park, the premier golf architect of the world has 6! been summoned to supervise the final touches. Mr. Park made a ! preliminary inspection of the groj und some, months ago. and declared p,'(that the tract offered facilities for , | development into.a country club I with all forms of outdoor recreaj tion, unsurpassed by any in the en- » tire country. I ' In the meantime the firm of ^ j Messrs Black, Burns and Fiske, landscape engineers, have been as- ! siduously at work, and even to the »l uninitiated eye the outlines of the first eighteen hole course are clearc" lv seen. In this particular departie ment of work, the firm named are ln experts having laid out numerous " tracts of virgin land into beautiful parks and recreational tenters. Associated with Mr. Bum's on 'n the field are Russell Klockcr, superintendant, and R. 11. Mawheney E" landscape engineer. Mr. MawA hiney before he came to Ocean iT City, laid out anil constructed the ' CTtetremon Cbwntry Club at Cherry ln Tree, Pa. City Engineer W. H. Collisson, • Jr., and his brother N. Harvey e" Collisson, made the original survey of the ground. Standing upon the knoll upon r_ which the club house will bo erec[i_ ted, in the vicinity of the old Somerx Point Cemetery, the ninth fairway opens out before the eye with indescriable beauty. The ground " rises and falls in graceful undulations, giant oalces and hickory for- " iR ming wonderful wimlbrakes without preventing the mingled ordors of *' fragrant shrubs and flowers and " the tonic oione of the sea from ^ reaching the players. u( Beautiful as it is however, the to ninth cannot compare with the 1B third and seventh holes. The fairways run through avennues of graceful trees, here and there a natural obstacle to test the nerve and skltl of any player. When the final touches are made, _ all around the fairway beds of fl- * owers and fern rockeries will be planted, the acme of landscape ■" gardening. The work of stumping along the i- first course has been completed, i- the refuse removed, and the ground il ready for harrowing before the ie planting of turf. The soil is everywhere suited for the cultivation of 1- the green spring turf which make* >r the ideal golf course. By judicious ■r and skillful designing and survey, abundant hazards are left predudj. ing the necessity of lonstructing |d any artificial ones the plan usually [e adopted. ,s Graceful undulations, abundant wimlbrakes, and modulating dty- ^ lines are the perscriptive features |. of every hole and green. r j The Coming of Willie Park is anticipated eagerly by the pror meters. With the wonderful natural facilities at hand, utilised by ' one whose genius as a golf arehl- . tect is known throughout Europe and this country, nothing can prevent the Ocean City Country Club ' from attaining to nation-wide fmIn adilition there will be certain n portions of the thrnct reserved for real estate development, as for example the ground lying* between '• the tenth and eighteenth greens. " A neat bungalow built in the midst of such an environment needs the ir pen of a poet to describe. To a '' golfer a more delightful summer residence could not be desired.
