Morven Thompso Inns been elected
chairman Of the golf committee of the
VI. Clapp, who held the post for the
past two years. Thompson was elect
ed for term Of three years. Clapp
has one year left to serve in the COM
mittee. Admiral Harold p Norton Is
the third member.
Thompson has been busy at the
club for the past four days with Fran
els James, the supervisor. seeing that
the course is put in perfect condition
for the clubs spring invitation tour
nament, May is, II and 1S.
The ninth and eighteenth greens
were put in use during the past week
and Thompson hopes to have the
third, fifth, sixth and seventh and all
the other regular greens in use by
Wednesday, when the competition for
the French high commission cup for
men begins at match play with handi-
raps. James has scheme for retain
ing the new fifth green. which 1t was
thought might have to be abandoned
on account of the widening OF Wis
consin avenue.
When the thoroughfare is widened
the fence on the west OF the Chevy
Chase property will be brought to
within fifteen feet of the back end
of the green. James proposes to build
up the back end of the green to a
high mound, with large sand trap
at the back and small sand trap
facing the tee. to serve as a distance
indicator. This. it is hoped. will so
bring out the distance and check the
run Of q ball hit too strong that there
may not be need of constructing an
other green.
Cards for the French high commits
sion cup for men must be in the
hands of the golf committee by Sun
day night, when the pairings will be
made.
