Out ........3 4 4 5 44s ia

This mark is the lowest that has ever
been done on the Columbia Country Club

Columbia Country Club golfers will be
playing on the new sixth green by the
end of this week. according to a mem

length of the hole as to whether it will
be two full shots with the wood or q
drive and iron hole. DR.. Harlan, chair
man Of the green committee at the
Columbia Club, believes that even In the
summer time when the ground is hard
it will take all q good man can hit to
get in two shots. Others believe it will
simply change their second shot from
q mashfe to either a mtdiron or cleek.
1t is true that the old green sloped in
q manner that was favorable to the
player with long tee shot and that
the Httoh, If played to the right of the
green, got the break of the hill, and
that the new green Is elevated and the
shot must be practically all carry. De-
velopments of the play to the green
flde full two-shot hole.
