Fire Destroys Beacon Hill Golf Clubhouse Plans For New Community Center
The Beacon Hill municipal golf links clubhouse burned last Monday, prompting plans for a substantial new building to serve as park board headquarters and a golf club facility. Estimated cost around 390000 dollars, with work hoped to start next spring on a site near the 17th tee, preserving the course layout. A temporary check room has been set up near the home green, and locker-holders receive six months free golf at lease end. Notables—Steve Dwan switching from left to right-handed play, Dr. Houston planning to bat right-handed, and Gene Hatton among those spared—feature in the aftermath reports. The Inglewood Golf and Country Club campaign advances, with a 300-strong business-led group eyeing a new Lake Washington-area course ready by fall 1920.
