��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)rught 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.
