co Tltil,!Holl). The 19 17 Reptonian Senior Design D. R.- Downey This design presents a course consisting of eighteen holes with a totallength of 6216 yards. A spacious entrance is provided, leading to a club-house large enough to accommodate all the members and their guests. Ata convenient distance from the clubhouse, a garage and parking space islocated. The course itself is well distributed over the 120 acres. The holes areall of good length,—the shortest being 130 yards. The first nine holes areplayed in a clockwise direction, while the second nine are arranged anti-clockwise, which eliminates the possibility of driving into the on-comingplayers. Such an arrangement tends to keep all balls within the course,and provides a line of play that becomes interesting and avoids monotony.Additional recreatioinal area in the form of tennis courts is included inthe scheme.

Thirty-six The 1917 Reptonian Senior Design M. R. Davis R. H. Humphreys MODELS OF GOLF COURSE Plasteline models of the proposed landscape development are, withouta doubt, one of the most easily understood and most convincing of themethods of presenting a plan. They not only are miniatures which showarchitectural features, interesting planting arrangement, and differencesin elevation, but they are colored to appear like the finished design, as onewould see it in reality. These points are well illustrated in the photographs of the golf coursemodels. The models shown were developed from the golf course problempreviously described. Owing to the large scale of the problem, however,only the club house and the entrance grounds were worked up. The lay ofthe land, the buildings, the drive, and the planting all can be easily seen.Plasteline models speak for themselves so well that they need very littlefurther explanation.
