EXTENSION OF GOLF COURSE

With the purchase of more land in the region about the golf course the College has taken decided steps to relieve the congestion which has at times in the past been the only drawback to a successful golf game on the college links. Work has already started on the new addition and it is expected that with good fortune everything will be in readiness by late summer of 1918.

The new land was purchased from Professor Wicker and lies across the Vale of Tempe, beyond the ravine which leads to the foot of the ski jump. When the new improvements are ready, the links will be about 600 yards longer and will give the course a total length of 2800 yards; this will equal if not surpass any golf course in this part of New England. At the' same time it is planned to improve the road leading through the links by widening it. A culvert will then be put across the brook and the road extended until it joins the state highway to Lyme. This work is being done entirely on the initiative of the College and is a step following the erection of a clubhouse towards improving Hanover's equipment for all branches of sport and recreation.
