At the same time, the hazards arc
,eine so constructed that there is
20 possibility Of easy egress from
hem once the unfortunate ball has
found it's way into dificulty. They
are generous in size and are SO placed
that the shot off the line will surely
be penalized, while the straight shot /,
which may not be SO long, will hnd
no trouble.
The new seventeenth stands out as
one of the finest golf holes anywhere
in this section. The new fifth. sixth
and seventh holes are also going to
be real two-shotters. while the new
loca: :ion of the third green brings
that hole back to the level of bona
fide two-shotter, although the toe Will
be put back.
Changes in the eighth hole have
been brought about by leveling OF
the bunker in front of the green:
raising of the green at the back and
construction of two deep bunkers In
place of the former cop bunkers that
stretched all the way across the
course. The changes in the ninth are
not definitely settled, but it Is not
likely that there will be anything
to stiffen up the penalty for a miss
ed tee shot.
The green at the eleventh is being
shifted to the south of the present
green and changes in the twelfth and
thirteenth have not yet been started.

The approach to the fourteenth has
been considerably stiffened by con-
struction Of traps all around the back

about seven yards. Traps are to be
placed between the fourteenth and
seventeenth fairways to replace the
present cop bunkers.
Changes at the fifteenth have not

green has been built thirty yards to

A pit will be placed twenty yards In

are required, while the ordinary
player can take three to reach the
green, which has fairly wide
entrance to secure 5.

ter, with the tee back in the corner

property. The fairway will cut
diagonally across the present fairway

| Chevy Chase course up to modern
standards in golf courses. are being
done under the guidance of CAPT.
Alison of the firm of Colt, Mackenzie

workmen. but one of his men has
been constantly on the job to sea
that the course is built according to
his standards. The golf committee

probably will be completed and
ready for play within year. At the
same time, there is no interruption tu
golf over the present course.
