George Sargent. rofessional of the
Chevy Chase Club. III discussing the diff
ferent holes OF the course, has this to
say about holes three and four, which
have been enigmaS to the best golfers
OF the country. Mr.. Sargent said:
The third is short hole 100 wards
long. 1t is beautifully bunkered and
anything but a really good shot is sure
the green. In my opinion it has few
equals for q hole OF this length. The
fourth is 325 yards long and calls for
two good straight shots ana Il pitch AS
the fair green slopes TO the left the play
ers must aim down the right-hsnd side
Of the course for the first snot, so as TO
allow for the roll down. Careful judg-
ment is required for the second shot, for
guarding the green in front is a nasty
player wishes for an easy approach to
be as near this hazard as possible as the
green. which is beautifully undulating is
well guarded by traps both left ar.u
right

While Chevy Chase has practically won
the championship. there may be a sur

IChase loses This would tie Chevy Chase
