| REARRANoEMENT of the golf

VI tIlC kOll
~ course at Beaver Dam Country
n Club will be one of the new
Developments to come along
with the construction Of the new club
house following the fire which COM
pletely destroyed the old club house
several weeks ago. With the new
house to be constructed on a site sew
eral hundred yards north and east oi
the location of the old house, a rear
rangement of the holes on the goli
course has become necessary, and M
H. Maier, chairman Of the club Colt
Committee. already has laid his plans
for the resrrangement before President
Edward S, Brashears. who has ap-
proved them in toto.
The plans for the rearrangement at
Beaver Dam course take nothing from
the length of Washington's longest golf
course, and will require the construc-
ton Of three new putting green's in
order 10 have both mines Of the regu-
lar layout begin and finish near the
new club house. Work on the con-
struction of the three new green's and
the necessary new construction OF tees
and hazards will begin Immediately.
The old frst hole will be abandoned
entirely and the second hole, to be
played from q new tee, will become the
first hole. The third will become the
second and so on, with the present
ninth hole becoming the eighth.
An entirely new ninth hole will be con-
struoted with play to be over the site
of the old club house to a new green
to be located near the new club house.
The tenth hole VIII be a three-shot-
ter and the present seventeenth viii be
entirely abandoned. The new seven
teenth will be played from a tee ap-
proximately where the present seven
about midway down, the present eight
eenth faigway and new eighteenth
green will be constructed near the new
club house.
The entire scheme is the largest
piece Of golf construction work to be
undertaken around Washington this
year, and this, together with the work
on the new club house disposes Of the
possibility of Beaver Dam holding an
invitation tourney this year. The club.
however, is anxious to hold such an
event when its new house Is finished,
the improvements on the golf course
are completed and the whole course in
good shape.
WASHINGTON is likely to have a
w couple of real senior golf tourna-
ments this year If the Maryland
State Colt Association holds its senior
tourney around the Capital, and the
District Colt Association, as has been
suggested, changes its senior tourney
from an lshole medal play tourney to
a 36-hole test or q match play event.
p S. Ridsdale OF Chevy Chase, pres
ent District senior champion, is to be
named vice chairman of the senior di-
vision of the Maryland state Associa-
ton, working with Phillip I, Heuisler OF
Baltimore in promoting the interests OF
seniors In Maryland. Ridsdaie feels
that even though he won the District
senior event last year at 10 holes medal
play, such o short distance is not a
real test.
ANY hard luck, especially on course
like Burning Tree. may spoil q mans
chance for winning. as it did In Clark
Grifhth's play-od with me when he was
unfortunate enough to take an Q on
the fourth hole. think a6-hole
medal play or possibly q 54-hole medal
play tourney would be q much fairer
test, and so would match play, unless
