Dear Mr. Taylor:
First let me thank you for being instrumental in giving Mr. Wilson and the writer such a pleasant day at the St. Augustine Country Club. We enjoyed it immensely and the writer's greatest regret is that he does not play a game of golf that is sufficiently good to make it interesting to you. We certainly must get together in the near future but cannot at the present time fix a date.
My brother was very much interested in my letter to him about the splendid condition of the greens. He wants to know the variety of grass that is used not only on the greens but also on the course. Would it be possible for you to find out this from some of those in charge of this Department?
Will very much appreciate this information as we would also like the same for the Florida Country Club.
