THE NEWNAN HERALD, NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1921 "OLD BILL" KEELER ATTENDS COUNTRY CLUB OPENING. O. B. Kepler in Atlnnla .Imirnnl. "Wp tire in nn crn of rnpiii progress,” nniil H. D. f:olp, president of tlic Newnnn Country Club, making tbo wplcomo ail- draw Friday evening nt tins rlub’n for- mnl opening, "iniil II prlmo fcnliiro of this progress in our learning bow to piny —to gnin tlio benefits of rocrcnlion; in n word, to live happy, healthy, well-round- cd liven. Thin olub in your club, design- oil to IidIji nil of us in tlint. direction. We wplcome you to ypur club ; use it freely.’ ’ Tills exce|#tioiinlly sound and fnr-Biglit- oil pronouncement wan addronseil to one of the finest gatherings I have ever seen; between six anil eight hundred citizens of Newnnn and Coweta county, assem bled for the opening reception of the Newnnn Country Club—the most recent and certainly one. of tbo finest of tjie country dubs of the State. Ncwimn anil Coweta county have step ped out nil of a sudden. Through the fine vision of a number of leading men, they have now a golf nnd country club that would be a distinct credit to n city of throo times the size of Newnnn, though it iiiunt be rccnllcd that this fine old town of 7,000, lacking loss than n decode of its centennial nnnivorsnry, nlno is ono of the wealthiest cities in the United Staten, its per capita wonltli rating fourth the Inst time such u census was compiled. An odd nnd most nttrnc.tivo combina tion is Newnnn, on old town of the old 8onth, with its always plensnnt refine ment nnd culturo, and nt the snme tiino a most prosperous businosn nnd mnnu- fnoturing town. And tlio now club Is typical of tlio town nnd Its spirit—n thoroughly correct nnd nttrnetlvo club, on a thoroughly sound nnd business-like foundation, sponsored by men—and wo men—of business nnd executive nbility, ns well ns characterized by n flno devo tion to the best nnd highest interests of the community. "It's your club, citizens of Cowotn," sold Mr. Cole, "nnd wo wnot you to use it freely.' ’ I think tliei-o in not the leant doubt of tho free usn of the Newnnn Country Club. Tin nttrnetlvonoBB begins with the drive from the city—n fine concrete ronil tlmt. extends northward from Newnnn six miles, the club being situated three milps from town—n matter of nix or npvoii minutes of tinny driving by motor a gently sloping mill curving rend thnt invites u plensnnt speed with safety mid comfort. They lire putting in grass oiling the edges of the concrete—that is clinincterintic of the artistic thorough ness with which they do tilings ill Cow eta enmity. This correspondent hntl the pleasure of attending the opening reception ul the club house Friday evening, ns the guest of Mr. T. H. Pnrrotl, secretary nnd trenniiror of the club, null one of the well- known " wheel-horses'' of the organiza tion. I must charge that Mr. Parrott, niiled nnd abetted liv Mrs. Pnn-O'tt nnd a wonderful chef, enme nenr to betraying me In one /llreetlon—thnt Is to sny, enr- nmei ailto, Mr. Parrott and I were out nt the chili grounds in the afternoon, taking u look at the great swimming pool mid Hie gelt’ course, and the proposed site for the gun club, mid our Inspection of the club- house took us (by reason of Tom-Par rott's unerring instinct, I fancy,) to a certain place where were displayed •many beniitiful cakes, several of them caramel, which Is tlie kind of enke most favored Viy Jove us it stabilizer In hi? ambrosial revels on Olympus. 1 inform™! Mr. Parrott thnt this wns something to fight, bleed anil die for; end thnt the evening’s low, descending suit would see mo on linnd, ready for the fray. This was reckoning without my host, and hostess, however. Following au af ternoon silent lit tbo elub-houso nnd grounds, 1 went home with Mr, Parrott with nil excellent nppoHto. nnd by the time T had started haek for the recep tion, nnd tlio cnrnmcl enko, T had so far HUocunihod to fried - chicken nnd country limn nnd twenty little brawn biscuits nnd snlud nml lee cronm nnd other coniestl-. hies thnt. T wns up against the well- known physical axiom regarding tho un feasibility of emislng two objects to occupy tho same space at tho same time. It looked blue for the caramel enke just then-, and 1 recalled Mint, while 1 did ent caramel enko in n fair proportion, there remained some dozen or fifteen enkes to ho auctioned off during tlio sub sequent proceedings. This would never have happened ox- eept for Hint remnrknblo dinner set by "Br’or Sims” at Mr. Parrott’s thnt o veiling. Now, a little about the club-house nt which this brilliant opening wns hold, nnd the grounds about it. The Newnnn Country Club represents nt leant a $-10,000 plant, on 00 ncrcs of land Hint lins licen producing n bole of cotton to tho acre—or a slindo better. Yon may imagine it will produce turf for golfing fairways—you mny see tho old Bermuda taking hold and spreading right now; nnd most of tbo putting greens already are in fine condition. It 'in n full-sized nine-hole,course, of well out places on n rug at homo, swinging; and took Harry Vnrdon’s style, bit by hit, from the ground up, nnd swung hun dreds and thousands of times; until she couldn’t swing nny other way. And nhe hits the ball with it, too— clean, straight, shots; mid she is said to be tlie only Nottnnn golfer thnt. lias brought hack a cup thus far; she won it in Athintn. by the way. I watched ho rnlike n 8 on u -100-ynrd hole, with never n shot off the lino; nnd I made a pic ture of tho buck-swing, which corrobor ates my visual observation of the nccu- rncy with which bIic copied Vurdon a swing; nnd, for instance, tho grip. I think Newnnn 'n masculine golfers—Car- land Jones mid Tom Parrott and the rest—will Jmvc their work rut out to hold tliolr own 111 other fields with Mi-b. Atkinson nnd her Vnrdon swing. The pool is said to be tlie largest con crete pool in the South, 78 by 100 fcet; ill a ptnc grove, with adequate facilities ill every <vny—dressing rooms and so on. And Tom Fisher, a mighty trnpsliontcr, pointed out tho little vnlley where it is proposed to establish the traps, so tlie shooting muy be ngninst n hillside, with a lino background from every angle. They intend to make the Newnnn Country Club nil kinds of n club, evi dently. The club-house is n lnugnificcnt nffnir; spacious nnd admirably designed; with tlie Intcst designs in showers and locker rooms; n grand tiled veranda oa the cast, flanked by a grent porte-cochere, and a breeze always blowing, apparently from tho blue and distant hills of old Carroll comity. The outlook is on the ninth green nnd fairway nnd the sweep ing drive. The main feature of tho club-house probably Is its grout assembly room, 38 by 88 feet in size, with a vast stone fire place nt one end, a mezzanine orchestra loft at the otlior; a fine floor and pnnelod ceiling nnd walls. At tho orchestra end of tho room is a charming nobk furnish ed by the Tuesday Morning Rook Club —the ladies agree to forego tiieir cus tomary refreshments for a certain peri od, mill used the funds to supply curtains mid cushions nnd pictures and vnscs and such matters. Mrs. Mike Powell, chair man of tho women's bnnrd, nnd her co- workei-H prneticnlly furnished the club house in lavish stylo. There in n smoking-room for tlie mon; clonk rooms; kitchen nnd" dining-room— everything a country elub-houso needs. Tho club lins its own waterworks, with n pressuro-boilor for the showers; mid gots its electricity from tlio Columbus Power Co., 1 think it is. The program for tho opening recep tion was arranged mainly by Mr. Tom Fisher and Mrs. 10. G. Cole nnd their committees, It wus n brief mid attrac tive program, with the president’s ad dress ns tho only speech, n briof had en gaging liltlo talk. Dock’s orchestra sup plied the music, mid Mrs. Brynu Black burn nml Mrs. 10. R. Wlintloy sung de lightfully. Mrs. W. M. Askew nnd Mrs. •I. B. Fuller gnvo charming numbers on violin mid 'cello; nnd Mr. Tom Avern, with his "negro sormon,” mid MiBn Vir ginia Glover, with a clover reading, were features. - So tlio Newnnn Country Club starts out brilliantly, with tlib most substantial backing nml the (incut, principles, so gracefully expressed by its president, Mr. Cole, in his nddress of welcome— with n golf course thnt will be in playing shape before the season is out, mid in less than three years should compare with any in Georgia; \ylth a .membership of 281), and ono of tlio finest cities, in one of the finest counties in the country, to draw on for its members, Tlie officers ere: Mr. it. . JJ. Cole, president; Mr. II. O. Arnnll, jr, vico- president, nnd Mr. T. 8. Parrott, score-, tary and treasurer. These, with the chnirmon of four standing committees— Mr. 1). T. MtUlgot, house committee; Mr. It. Q. Jones, finance; Mr. B. II. Pinson, grounds, nnd Mr. O. L. Wynp, pool—eomposo the board of governors. And 1 cun ensily imagine the mellow hum of motor enrs out nlntig the smooth highway to the northward of Newnnn, in tho bright, wnriif sunshine or tlie mel low moonlight, nnd the gollliug figures ngninst. tho green of tlie course; find tlio flushing divers in the pool; nnd the lights mid tlie music, whon Hie dnrk tins come, Hint, will go to make up the bright;- new social nnd recreative life thnt any well- ordered country club menus to any com munity—mid most particularly to n city like Newnnn nnd n county like Coweta.

There arc,two holes of the ono- shot variety; ono of 210 yards, nnd one —a perfect gem—thnt Is n ninshlo pitch of 120 yards up to a plateau green; a hole that I make bold to sny will become fnmoiiB among Southern golf courses. Tlio long holes iitcludo two threo-shot holes for tho strongest players, nnd four two-shot nud drive-and-pitoH holes, nil admirably laid out by Willie Ogg, I believe. Out oil the course 1 lind an odd little experience. 1 wns introduced to Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson, wife of the solicitor- general of the Coweta circuit, who was taking a practice round; nnd I watched her play a few shots. Her first swing stirred a well-implnated memory. It was like some o'hc' swing I had seen some where—some ether swing thnt was fa mous, ton. I asked Mrs. Atkinson: "Who taught you thnt. swing f” She said: "1 got it out of n book. Then I hud it. It wns Harry Vnr- don’s swing, from start to finish; ami tbo book was Harry Vnrdon’s.
