The average acre le about 220 yard long and from twenty-tw- o te twenty-fiv- e yards In width. The line In which the holes extend can double back and cross Itself several times if absolutely necessary, and it is always required to do eo whru the space Is limited. Consequently to get tho beet results with limited space It le always best to have the land extend In as long a line aa possible tliat Is, to aarrtlice width in favor of length. You can then play from one end to the other, zigzagging judiciously, and then play back, placing the Incoming holes aa far from the outgoing holes sidewise as convenient. Seeming obstructions, like railroad tracks, mads, hedges, fences and brooks or ponds, are no handicap wliat-eve- r. In many esses they ars an aid to a links by forming haiards.
