COURSE AT INDIAN SPRING
FINE. WITH GREENS GREAT

I preparing to sod off a gentle mound Of
rough.
Then the long seventh. where the fair
way used to be nearly as soft as the
fifth. was drained and is now springy
and firm. And the same condition
exists on the tenth, where a pair of
bunkers in the rough at the left of the
fairway are being pulled out We wait
ed for the fifteenth, where the springs
really used TO get in their whacks and
spring golf was a thing Of wet feet and
bad tempers and missed shots Sandy
Armour would describe 1t like this:
Imagine my astonishment 10 flnd that
the erstwhile soggy fairWay had given
place 10 a firmly rolled piece of turf
covered with a good stand Of grass and
affording a good lie"
It's true. Indian Springs soggy
places are no more. And John Nc
good stand OF grass on the sixteenth
fairway, which has been a sore spot In
other years. where for some reason
grass just didn't want to take root.
Now it's good.
Indian Spring. BY the way. has fol-
lowed the lead Of Chevy Chase and
Washington, and has decided TO start its
| invitation tournament this year on
/ Tuesday, ending the affair on Friday,
/ instead Of Saturday. It's being done
TO give the club members a full week
end Of golf. according TO Hoover.
/ But 10 get back TO Hunter, the
mighty man. He's got into a habit Of
/ hooking, what with these tin shafts,
as he calls steel shafts, and a long lay
/ of, and lack Of feel Of the club But
/ when he really got hold Of one what
sweet thing II was. We predict that
I when the other professionals around
/ Washington meet Hunter and George
/ Difenbaugh. as Hunter hopes they will
/ DO In home and home matches, all
standing and sitting long driving rec
ords will be broken. And by the way
Hunter Is out with a challenge on be-
/ half Of Difenbaugh and himself 10
any professional pair at any club
around Washington. Tommy and
Sandy Armour are not barred by any
means, even though the former holds
+ the national open championship
