PARKS 



3. Golf Courses. 



Everyone knows that the game of golf consists of striking a golf ball 

 with the purpose of getting it into a series of holes that are placed at varying 

 distances upon the course, in as few strokes as possible. To facilitate the 

 following out of this purpose, the course is arranged so that a good play 

 is rewarded and a poor one penalized, and so that everyone who plays may, 

 as far as possible, be kept interested. Moreover, an effort is made to elim- 

 inate as much as possible the element of chance, i.e., if the player has made 

 a poor shot, it must be impossible for him to land his ball on the green in 

 the same number of shots as players who have made a better showing.
