PARKS 



The clockwise plan accomplishes two important results. Where the 

 course moves around in the direction of the hands of a clock, the club 

 property of necessity lies to the right, and because of the tendency of the 

 average player to slice the ball and cause it to fly off to the right, this tends 

 to keep the golf balls upon the grounds. Also, conducting a player around 

 the tract, as this scheme succeeds in doing, it gives him varied scenery as 

 well as varied play. 



PLATE No. 65. PLAN OF GOLF CLUBHOUSE, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA 



This building was constructed in 1923-24 at a cost of $16,678. Facilities are well arranged, with separate 

 shower rooms. If positions of showers and toilets were interchanged, a slight advantage might be gained. The 

 ample terrace takes the place of club facilities which are not provided in the building.
