"The finest two-shot hole have ever
SEEN"
That is the way Roland r. MacKen-
zie describes the eleventh hole at CO.
lumbia, which has undergone a consid-
cradle change during the Winter and
differs materially from the old eleventh
hole OF other years, particularly as re-
CARDS the second shot. Roland should
like the hole, for yesterday we played
with him in the gale of wind which
swept the rolling Columbia course and
had the pleasure of seeing him play one
of the finest shots we have ever seen,
low, raking midiron shot into the
teeth of the gale, which brought up
feet from the hole and enabled him to
bag birdie 8. Roland's round. Incl
dentally, totaled Y. which is golf good
enough for any man in such a wind as
that Of yesterday.
From the tee the eleventh hole looks
like the same hole But the cross bunker
which used to catch a bad second shot
has vanished, while up near the green
a big pot bunker has been placed at
the left to catch second shots which
wandered of in that direction, the big
bunker at the right has been changed
In contour, and to make the hole more
difficult, row of trees and mounds has
been placed in the rough about 10 yards
