be around to continue the Job Of course
maintenance he has done so successfully
for many years. the members Of the
club have Q sincere vote Of thanks for
his job In removing these overhAnging
banks that used to make the deep bunk
ers at Congressional real terror. Dur
ing the Winter Jackson has completed
the job Of sodding the sides Of the
bunkers, which he started last Fall, and
those fearsome traps Of other days have
had their teeth drawn. No more do
overhanging lips make an explosion shot
q necessity, but they are not too easy
to get out from either. The bunkers
have liberal amount Of sand in them,
and while they demand Q niblick shot,
it may be played without the wierd re-
suits that used to come as the ball struck
the old-time overhanging lip and
dropped back In a heel print.
Congressional Is rounding into excel
lent condition and appears to be in the
