- out of the hills this Fall.
DR.. Thomas j. w. Brown, In
- charge of the green's work at the
Glen Echo Club, today revealed
| a plan by which most of the discourage
ing climb to the present green's at the
second and tenth holes will be done
| away with, without radically changing
the holes themselves.
For several years the climb up the
| long hill to the second green has been
| O trying one for golfers who played the
| back when the new tenth hole was put
| in play the climb there became equally
| irkSome.
| Now Dr. Brown has a scheme by
which he hopes to eliminate both the
arduous climbs. He proposed TO build
new second green Immediately north
| of the present green, to which the fair
way will follow the natural slope of the
hill, doing away with straightaway
climb. From this green path will
ascend to the third tee at slight angle
| instead of the heavy climb now neces-
sary to get to the top of the hill. He
also proposes to eliminate most of the
climb at the tenth hole by shortening
the hole about 80 yards, making 1t a
par 4 affair and doing away with the
DR.. Brown is also turning his atten-
ton to the 170-yard eleventh hole,
where the tee is on top of hill with
the green perched in a valley far be-
low. At least one member Of Bannock-
burn has been hurt walking down the
hill, and the golf authorities at the
club hope to find some way to make the
descent less arduous affair.
