Sir: Can you inform me where one might procure a good golf hound? The
animal chosen must have a sense of smell that will not be deflected
by the dust and gnats in the buffalo grass, a sense of sight that is
unerring, and the courage and agility to retrieve balls which have rolled
down gopher holes. Ours is a nine-hole course. The first hazard consists
of discarded objects of various sorts forming what might be called the
city dump. The other hazards are prairie-dog villages and the tribe of
gopher. To keep thoughtless cattle from making their beds on our greens
we have the latter enclosed with barbed wire. But even here the game
flourishes.
