sixty yards from the green Mounds

a real test of skill. about $50 yards will
be added. which In itself is very de-
to the standard length.

Chevy Chase players now are using
their new rearranged course, work on
which has been going on for the past
two years, the change having been de-
cided upon by the board of governors
and made effective yesterday. AS one
of the main reasons for this change.
which has cost the club several thou
sand dollars, was to have two starting
points with the ninth as well as the
eighteenth holes coming up to the
clubhouse. in. order to prevent conges-
tion of the course as well as to ar
range it SO that shorter match could
be conveniently played If desired. 1t is
not believed that any further steps will
be taken at this time toward making
the course twenty-seven holes, rs has
been talked Of by those in charge. az
