COURSE PkEPARATIONS IN SWING FOR PLAY TO-DAY CANADIAN FOURSOMES' DRAW For the past week a nuniber of men have been engaged in adjusting minor difficulties of the course, i where the ground has sunk in the j fairways, causing an unjust hazard j the turf has been cut. and rolled back and filling put into raise. the j ! ground level. The lifting of the faee . has greatly improved the chances of a player off the tee finding a solid green for his second shot. The bunkers have had all greasy clay headings removed and bottoms well raked. ' They are now more uniform and present a much better chance of lifting a shot to the pin. The No. 8 green has consolidated very well and now is fairly speedy. There is not a very great run through the green and a player has to rely mainly on the carry. Yesterday many of the contestants ' were trying out the course. Mrs. Ferguson was playing a strong game, 'putting her second woods to the greens at all the four bogey holes. Six local golfers are engaged in the championship. Miss Snodgrass ■ (9) being on the lowest handicap. The first of the championship play^ers leaves the first tee at 9.5 a.m. and the last 10.10 This should give ample time to finish in clear daylight. Including the handicap entries 50 players will face the starter td-mor-
