Ontario cities have likewise seen the advent of numerous courses, Now the "bug" is•spreoding to the smaller towns and the citizens of Sea -forth and commun- ity will be introduced newtothef orrn of recreation. The course in Seaforth is erected by the Tiny Tim Golf Cor- poration for Mr. R. E. Bright. The 18 -hole course is very attractive with fairways and hazards specially design- ed to snake the play one of skill as well as anutsement.
