from the green to prevent players driv-
ing over into the tenth fairway and cut
ting across to the eleventh green--a
favorite method Of long hitters In past
years.
The hold probably has more char
acter than any two-shotter on tho
Columbia course, and Is as difficult a
tWo-shot hole as exists about WASH
ington. 1t demands extreme length and
enerring accuracy from the tee, and
now calls for the same type of accuracy
with the second shot. In other years
the second shot could be placed at the
let side OF the green to avoid the bunker
at the right, and then good chip shot
would frequently enable the player to
secure his par. But now the ball must be
hit straight to the green.
