TO acquire an area large enough for

contour like our present course.
Golf courses the country over are
constantly being pushed farther out
from the centers of membership resi-
ience. and we are unable to discern
any special dispensation that makes
the Chevy Chase Club an exception
to that rule"
Looking into the future, the report
saws that the need for two 1S.hole
courses "plunges us into a discussion
OF the ultimate fate of our present
golf course"

change in clubhouse. surrounding

Citing the need for two 1s,hole
courses, the report says: The older
generation of our golf players does
not like to climb mountains. and we
think that their preferences in that
respect should be fostered. On the
other hand. the young and vigorous
members of our club are its greatest
potential asset. Therefore. 1t has been

Kendall Tract Described.
A search with this in mind led the
committee to the Kendall tract. six
miles from the present club, which
the report thus describes: THE own.

acres. and we are offered as much or
as little as we need and may select
the land that we desire, barring, of
course, that occupied by the manor
house and its immediate grounds and
the stables and appurtenances.

characteristics as our present course.
Contiguous to this on the east side
is an 1S-hole area, more diversified as
to topography. lying on both sides OF
Cabin John Run. Only small por-

excellent care, and II Is evident that
courses could be made at minimum

A paved roadway winds through the
property TO the manor house, a dis.
