TIME heavy traffic Of many tourna-
l. mcnts last year was suspended this
season at WhitcmarSh due to the many
changes made in the course. but golfers
contemplating competition for the Geist
Cup the latter part of next month are
surely in for treat.
Something has been done to nearly
every hole at the Chestnut Hill course
and some of the finest golf shots in the
city are now to be found there. The
links are now virtually ready for a re-
SUMPTION of the tournament burden the
club has always borne in this district.
The most noticeable changes to the
casual visitor start at the third hole.
and from then on in. with the exception
of an occasional unchanged hole. the
comment of the golfer who played the
course of old is hound to be contin-
uous-"Gce, isn't this great-they We
sure made a wonderful golf hole out OF
that one.
The seventh green appears to have
been elevated with deep trap to the
right and left the eighth opencd up. and
neatly trapped. and the heart shaped,
more elevated ninth green Is more at
tractivc shot than ever.
The twelfth short hole is now one
of the prettiest shots on the course and
has to be seen to be appreciated. which
onnlics to them all. in fact The thir-
tccnth marks the elimination figuring in
the two shots across the road to two
other green's, of the 'baSin' green.
