Heralded as one of the finest two
shot holes about Washington, and
perhaps one of the finest in the coun
try. the seventeenth at Chevy Chase
is gaining supporters in every round
played by men who know good golf
holes. Orrin A. Terry, the profess
sional at the club, declares the hole
is one of the best he has ever seen,
but believes the fairway at the right
should be narrowed in and the fair
way to the left widened, in order to
permit play from tn cleft side. From
the back tee the hole is really
formidable two-shotter, but the
green is amply large to hold a we'll
played shot.
