Golf Course in Cemetery.

Unique golf items come from foreign lands from time to time, one of the latest being an account of a Chinese course which has been laid out in a large cemetery. The rather gruesome links are located near TiemTsin, and as the Chinese bury the dead just below the surface of the ground and then mound up the earth to a considerable height, the course has been aptly termed one of “A Thousand Bunkers.” Special ground rules prevail, including one which permits a player to lift his ball from a freshly dug grave. The Chinese caddies receive five cents per round of 18 holes.
