Tj)RASSIE y)IRDIES By DICK MILLER

AROUND LOCAL COL'RISKS WITH THE MAN WHO GOLFS l OR SI'ORT A golf course built by nature—that’s the Coffin course. Professional George Stark and his corps of assistants are rounding the course into fine shape. Stark having more time to devote to this course since it has been separated from Riverside. Stark handled both courses last year. New greens on holes 2, 13 and 15, are improvements. Number 2 was built last year, but was put out of service by a wild grass infection. * * * Here’s how Stark plays the first nine of his course: Walking out of the clubhouse, you will look at No. 1 fairway stretched out about forty feet below. The tea is situated at the top, and your drive if topped rolls down the hillside into (he cedar trees. A slice is in the rough, and a hook out of bounds. If you have a straight drive you are troubled by the same side of fairway hazards on the second shot. The second should not be too strong or it will be out of bounds over the green. Par is 4 and the distance 441 yards. • • * On the second hole you again are t roubled by natural hazards. A hook Is In the trees, and a slice in the trap. The second shot should be a pitch onto the green trapped on both sides and back with sand. Distance 333 yards, per 4. You are now looking down into the ravine from tee 3. A topped drive is in it. A slice Is in the trap and a hook is In the rough grass. It is eighty feet to the other side of the ravine and the second shot is a brass!® shot with the same side course hazards. Pitch with a niashie nlblic to a green trapped on both sides. Par Is five and the distance 503 yards. • * ♦ Prom tee 4 to hole is 371 yards. It takes a straight drive to keep out of trees and rough. Second shot with midiron must escape trees and rough. The green is open. Par is 4. Everybody tries to drive the 275 yards from tee 5 to green; they usually fall and pitch the second onto the green and take two putts for par 4. A drive on the green means a birdie 3, Stark said. Hole 6 Is a pitch shot of 125 yards long onto a green built up and trapped with sand on all sides. Par is 3.

A hook-on drive on hole 7 means j the rough, in bad position for sec- ! end shot. The second has Its hazards \ with the trees on the left and the outyof-bounds on the right. The third should lie on the green, which | is open, with a trap on the left, j Par for the hole is 5 and the distance 495 yards. A trap greets a hook on the eighth drive, and if you push to the left you are out of bounds. Play the second shot straight onto the open green and make par 4. Distance 320 yards. Stark pointed out the beauty of the hole 9. A short pitch shot onto the green 135 yards distance is perfect golf. Don’t pull, he advises, or you are in the trap. The green is open. Par is 3. Stark played the first nine in par 3G. He can play it in less, but par suits most folfers. Including Stark. The distance covered on the nine is 2,998 yards. Saturday, George will play the second nine. In this nine is Chic Evans’ “All-American” golf hole. He regards It the greatest golf hole in the country. A descriptive story in Stark’s own words will tell you about it Saturday. Read about hole 14.
