Redwood Blocks Are Big Hit As Golf Club Floor

Last summer the Wilshire Country Club, Los Angeles, as part of the interior reconstruction of their beautiful club building, tore away the old floors of the club, which were showing wear very badly, and installed in their place in the locker rooms and grill rooms of the club, Redwood block floors\ It was more or less of an experiment for country club purposes, although block floors for factory use have proven wonderfully satisfactory duringthe past several years in all parts of the ceuntry.

The floors are apparently a wonderful success. The nails in the golfers' shoes do no damage whatsoever; there is no wear on the exposed ends of the grain, and there is every inclication that these floors, like most good block floors rvhen used under covers, will improve withage. They are easy to walk on with hob nails, and will apparently set an example in golf club floors that may be followed with satisfaction elsewhere. The floors of a heavily used golf club are always a problem. In this use of ,ivooden block, the problem seems to be solved.
