On April i8th, 1906, we were honoured by the receipt of a cable from The Grand Duke 
Michael ok Russia, commanding the immediate attendance at Cannes, in the Department of the Alpes- 
Maritimes, France, of the Manager of our Golf Department, to inspect the Cannes Golf Links, and advise for the 
improvement of the same. 
The Links are situated in La Napoule, at the foot of the Alpes-Maritimes, so that the sunoundings, with the 
snow-capped mountains in the background and the bright blue sea in the front, arc superb, arid now that the Lmks 
are to be renovated under the “ Carter System” they should compare very favourably with good British 
seaside links. 
We were surprised to find such a complete golfing organisation at Cannes. There are two courses--one of 18 
holes (5,454 yards long) for the gentlemen and ladies with a handicap not exceeding 10 strokes, and a 9-hole 
course ("1,841 yards) reserved for ladies with a handicap of over 10 strokes. 
The Club House is large, and replete with every modern convenience, and there are several Croquet Lawns 
for the use of non-golfers. 
The honorary officials, the professionals, and the head servants all speak English, and every facility for 
temporary membership is extended to visitors. 
Golfers who prefer bright sunshine to the somewhat trying climate of the British winter are recommended to 
go to Cannes, where they will find good golf, magnificent scenery, and the best of European and American 
society. 
The plan above shows the length and direction of the courses, the gentlemen’s links being marked by a dotted 
line and the ladies’ by a black line. 
During the following August we shipped by command of 11. 1. H. The Grand Duke Michael of Russia 
sufficient of our “ Tested Seed and Manures ” to renovate both courses.
