year is very much improved over that

Course Somewhat Heavy.
The course today was somewhat
heavy-far different from the Chevy
Chase course of other years-while
the putting green's. which have been
cut and rolled, were relatively fast.
notwithstanding the rain which fell
intermittehtly yesterday. With the
first nine holes considerably short
ened by the use of new tees on the
fifth and sixth holes. 1T was predict
ed the scores would be lower than in
previous Journeys. The new tee at
the fifth is fifty yards in front of
the old tee. making 1T possible to
reach the green with we'll hit tee
shot. while two good shots will get
home on the sixth. where the tee has
, been moved forward about sixty
yards.
The back tee Is in use on the long
eighth hole, however, making 1t diff
ficult to get home in three shots. url-
less the tee shot is very long. Like
wise. a new tee is in use on the
fourth hole, which, while it does not
lengthen the hole appreciably, helps
the longhitter by enabling him to play
to the right of the course against
the curve of the hill.
