GOLFING IN COMFORT
To spare its members the exertioa of climbing a hill, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., Field Club has installed an elevator in the middle of a golf course. When. a player has finished at the seventeenth hole, he steps into" the elevator and is lifted sixty-four feet to an elevated runaway. This 274-foot trestle extends horizontally to the crown of the hill and the tee from which play is started for the eighteenth hole. Formerly the tee was at the bottom of the steep hill, and the golfers, especially tha more portly ones, objected to the stiffness of the climb. Now the club't members, who include many of the industrial magnates and society leaders of the Steel City, have no more reason to complain, since they are assured.of a "lift" just before they start tha final hole.
