More than three blind holes are a defect and they should be at the end of a fine long shot only. Excessive climbing is a detriment. Mountain climbing is a sport in itself and has no place on a golf course. Trees in the course are a serious defect, and even when in close proximity prove a detriment. Out of bounds should be avoided if possible. Cops are an abomination. Glaring artificiality of any kind detracts from the fascination of the game. C.B. MACDONALD
