6 NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
bothersome. These were left primarily to separate 
the approach to the first hole and drive to the second, 
although the two are by no means dangerously 
parallel. 
The second hole, 360 yards long, has a depression 
about 100 yards from the tee to be carried and a bun- 
ker beyond for a pulled shot. The green is on rising 
ground, directly in front of a beautiful pine grove, of 
which it was once a part. To go over this green to 
the right means to go down a steep embankment for 
the pitch back, while to go straight beyond the green 
means to get in among the pines. 
A third is a hole pleasing to the eye of a golfer. 
The man who drives long and straight, with no fear 
of a mental hazard, will clear a ridge well out from 
the tee and be in favorable position for the shot to 
get home, the distance of the hole being 420 yards. 
To the left is a deep sloping depression, toward the 
Danvers River. This was a wild bit of country, but 
it has been cleared and partly levelled, so that those 
who cannot drive over the ridge or who make a poor 
shot from the tee will have a good he for their. second, 
but will be a long way from the green in two shots. 
There are deep traps to the right and left of the 
green. The fourth hole is 160 yards, but the tee is 
on a flat and the green on top of a hill, so that it is a 
case of all carry. 
An artificial hillock, in which are 600 loads of dirt, 
is the tee for the fourth hole, 400 yards. The tee 
location is highly picturesque, with the river directly 
to the left. More than 300 trees were removed from 
the line of the drive. Near the green the fairway nar- 
rows up, with a bunker on the right and the river on 
the left, also beyond. This green is so close to the 
river that as protection against high tides and storms 
there is a wall 250 feet long and six feet high in a 
semi-circle around it. Between the green and this wall 
is a depression which helps to penalize an over-played 
approach, yet saves the ball from landing on the beach. 
For the drive to the sixth there is a lagoon to be 
carried, requiring a tee shot of 125 to 150 yards, ac- 
cording to the tee used. This lagoon has a water main 
connection with the river, so that it may be supphed 
with fresh water at each tide, if desired. Between it 
and the river is a wall fifteen feet high at one point 
and an embankment which required thousands of loads 
of filling. At the inner end of the lagoon an artistic 
wall has been constructed, to correspond with the 
other end, and eventually the club may tear away one 
embankment to enlarge the body of water and have 
a place for winter sports. To build up the sixth green 
April 16, 1915 
took the dumpings from a bunker on which eight 
scoop shovels were at work excavating for five days. 
Few more impressive mental hazards are to be 
found than on the drive to the seventh hole, for the 
straight line to the hole, 360 yards away, is directly 
over a deep ravine and inlet of the river, with the 
river to catch a hooked ball. The green is another 
artificially built up, for the tidewater formerly came 
up to its base. A retaining wall has been constructed 
between the green and the river. 
The eighth hole, 355 yards, and ninth, 360, have 
characteristics in common, running through valleys 
separated by a ridge. The eighth is a little more of 
the dog-leg. <A little stone house, topped by a marble 
cupid, is an object of beauty pretty much in line with 
the drive and, in McNamara’s opinion, should be re- 
moved. <A stone ledge in the line of drive to the 
eighth has been drilled for blasting and 2400 feet of 
drain pipes have been laid in the eighth and ninth 
fairways. The home green is Dee located in front 
of the clubhouse. 
Besides its golf, the club is now having two tennis 
courts built in back of the main house, on the spot 
where there formerly was an Italian garden. The — 
ground was excavated to a depth of about seven fect 
and there is more than a foot of solid rock as founda- 
tion for the courts, which will be between two rows of 
hedges. Two more courts may be built later. There 
will be a pier for motor boats, which can go up the 
Danvers River to the club’s property, one section of 
which is close to Beverly Bridge. Boats can go there 
from Boston or any other point. The curve of the 
river makes almost an island of the property on which 
the buildings and the nine holes here referred to are 
located. 
Enoch Crombie, who was employed at the Essex 
County Club for a dozen years, has superintended the 
work on thé property since last fall, having from a 
dozen to forty men under him at different times. Jack 
Shea will be the professional. He has been with the 
Elysium Club this winter and is still there, the club 
having indoor golf courts.
