FLINT GOLF CLUB.

The Flint Golf Club was originally organized as the Flint Country Club in September, 1910, by thirty-seven of the leading citizens of Flint, who purchased the Lewis O. Medbury farm of three hundred and ten acres, one-half mile north of the village of Atlas, for the establishment of a club house and grounds. The old Medbury homestead was remodeled into a handsome and well-appointed club house and work was started on the development of a golf course to which nature had lent much assistance by providing natural hazards, the rolling land being threaded by a winding stream. In due time the membership was extended to associate, non-resident and honorary members, the total membership on July 1, 1916, being one hundred and sixty.

In the spring of 1916 it became apparent that the interest of the organization could best be served by placing all members on the same financial basis and accordingly the Flint Gold Club was organized, with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars, representing stock at fifty dollars per share, of which each member should be the owner of one or more shares, and of which nearly fifty thousand dollars has already been subscribed.

The Flint Golf Club now represents a golf course, well developed, together with splendid club buildings and equipment, the value of which is about one hundred thousand dollars. The club is located twelve miles from Flint and is accessible by interurban car service and improved gravel and macadam roads.
