Under the care of Dick Watson,
greenkeeper at both Chevy Chase and
Indian Spring, the course OF Chevy
Chase is rapidly rounding into first
class condition two weeks In advance
of the tourney date. The new twelfth
green now is in use, and all the putting
greens have been carefully groomed I'M
til they are the immaculate putting
surfaces that Chevy Chase always has
at tournament time. Front tees are in
use at some of the holes now, but the
tournament tees are being kept in shape
for the tourney and probably will not
be put in use until the week OF the
event.
No longer will Bob Barnett and
Gene Larkin, golf instructors at the
Chevy Chase Club, be subjected to the
chilling blast of the prevailing winds
from the west as they teach the coming
golfers of the club over between the
twelfth and fourteenth fairways. For
them and for those who wish TO prac-
tice shots over the commodious prac-
tice field Of the club have been built
two sheds In which both instructors and
those who practice may stand. pro-
tected from the west wind by shelters as
they drive balls down the practice
ground toward the twelfth green. In
addition a large practice tee is being
built between the twelfth and thirteenth
fairways.
