George Sargent, professional of the
Chevy Chase Club. in speaking of the
course OF the club, said: There is one
hole on the links that looks easiest of
ALL and yet it is in my opinion, one of
| the hardest for a hole of it's length.
This is the third hole, which is only $50

and anything but a really good shot is
] sure to find one of the traps surround

for a player who has hooked his drive
| to get home in two, and shot short of
| the fair green is very apt to cause the
player considerable trouble
