Illustrated Flushing and vicinity : College Point, Broadway-Flushing, Malba-on-the-Sound, Whitestone, Bayside, Douglaston, Little Neck in the third wa . ground of a number of NewYorks leading golf and country clubs, among them being the OaklandGolf and the Bayside Golf clubs at Bayside, the Great Neck Golf Clubat Great Neck and the Flushing Country Club at Flushing. These and theother clubs here have proved very successful. Their memberships com-prise men prominent in society and business, in the professions and infinance and politics. Each has its authorized membership filled, and thewaiting lists are long ones. They have become very exclusive organiza-tions. And the same situation exists in other sections of Long Island asin Westchester and New Jersey. There are to-day probably more per-sons of Greater New York playing golf by courtesy arrangement on thewell-known private and public courses and in the citys parks who arenot members of any club owning its own grounds than there are membersof such ownership clubs. Various associations, perhaps, a score or more, such as the Hardware Club, the Advertising Mens Club, the Traffic Club, ft. Oakland Country Club—Bayside 62 FLUSHING AND VICINITY etc., are alien players by special privilege. Recently the Engineers GolfClub of New York became an ownership playing club by buying its ownland on Long Island at Roslyn, a few miles from Flushing. In these times of financial and business uncertainty, when securityof investment is the prime requisite, the attention of capitalists and largeoperators and promoters is directed to the possibilities of certain largebodies of land exceptionally located and suitable for Golf and CountryClubs in the Flushing District of Queens Borough, which the under-signed control, and which will be sold upon terms that will enable theformation of new golf and country clubs, or which will be leased there-for upon attractive terms, or which may be secured by option to purchasefor a term of years hence.
