Golfing by the Clock — A New Idea 

 for Golf Courses 



The Clo:k on Its Pedestal Is Located Where It 

 Can Be Easily Seen from Club House and Course 



A.\0\TLTV in the way of a holder 

 for the golf course clock has made 

 its appearance on the grounds of the 

 Annondale Golf Club in Los Angeles, 

 California. 



This is a conspicuous all-concrete 

 structure, standing about eight feet in 

 height. The case containing the clock 

 is two feet wide, two feet in height and a 

 foot and a half in depth. Its walls are 

 about three inches in thickness. A re- 

 movable piece of plate glass occupies the 

 front side of this case, while in the rear 

 there is a small door through which the 

 clock may be regulated. The standard 

 is solid and is about a foot in thickness at 

 the base and eight inches in diameter at 

 the point where it meets the bottom of 

 the case. 



This clock and its holder are located 

 beside Tee No. i of the course. It can 

 be easily seen by those who are about to 

 start upon a round of the course, as well 

 as from all parts of the club house, from 

 whida it is a few yards distant. 



What Golfing Sometimes Does 

 to the Feet 



ASPFXTAL "jinx" of the old golfer 

 has been classified as "golfer's 

 foot." It is a condition due to brok- 

 er fallen arches. When playing golf 

 the anterior portion of the foot, in 

 right-handed players, and vice 

 \ersa in left-handed players, is 

 i)r()ught into unusual service. As 

 the dri\c is made the weight of the 

 body is brought back with great 

 force upon the foot that has been 

 elevated in the up-swing. The 

 greater part of the force is caught 

 by the outer portion of the foot 

 and ine\itably the strain will be 

 felt, espcciall>- if care is not taken 

 at the beginning of the season to 

 kee|) the feet in good condition. 



Making Your Head Behave 

 While You Hit the Ball 



A DEVICE to make the golfer 

 keep his head still while mak- 

 ing a shot has been invented by 

 Arthur E. Peck, of Minnesota. It 

 consists of a sight that is sus])end- 

 ed by a rod fastened to the front 

 of the player's cap.
