course Of the latter club il
a return team match on
Sunday, team matches involving three
Washington golf clubs are in the max
ing. The Manor Club at Norbeck, Md,
one Of the fastest growing golf organ
izations around Washington. has been
asked for team matches by both In
dian Spring and Kenwood, and the
matches viii be arranged later in the
season, according to D. L. Thomson,
chairman of the combined golf and
greens committees of the club.
While changes in the course OF the
Manor Club will be rushed through to
completion this year, stretching out
the fifth and sixth holes and lengthen-
ing the first nine to match up with the
length of the second nine, a change has
been made in the golf shop location.
Al Treder, the club pro, and Eddie Ste
vens, his assistant, now are located in
the old golf shop in a new spot, near
the frst tee. The shop has been picked
up bodily and moved from its old loca-
tlon near the tenth tee to a new spot
west OF the clubhouse. No longer will
the caddie pen be near the golf course,
and 1t is planned to renovate the old
golf shop location and install a prac-
tice putting green.
THE course of the Manor Club, as
l. golf courses go, Is new. The sec
ond nine is 10 years old and the
woods" nine. or first nine, is less than
three years old. Winter rules are being
linn hIrf h oc
the grass come along on both sides that
Summer rules could be played without
trouble. 1t is testimonial to the per-
sistence Of Thomson and his Greens
Committee associates that the fairways
OF that woods" nine are carpeted with
such f1ne stand Of grass. Lots Of folks
SAID that on account of the hillsideS
and slopes the wash of rain would pre-
vent good stand Of grass on those fair
ways. But they kept after 1t and to-
day those fairways are very nearly as
good in the woods" as those on the
more open second nine. And there are
not any better fairways anywhere around
Washington than those on the s.cond
nine holes Of the Manor Club course
Work on the new fifth and sixth holes
has not yet been started, but Thomson
says these holes will be stretched out
to their maximum length before an
other season rolls around. The fifth
VIII become a three-shotter, and the
sixth, which now Is being played from
new tee, will become q two-shotter Of
about 420 yards.
TWO days will be given over TO the
l. qualification round for the wom-
ems District championship at
Manor next week, instead of the Gus
tomary one day for qualifying. Mon
day and Tuesday will be the qualifying
days, with the first round Of match play
scheduled for Wednesday.
The change will bring the final round
forward another day, with the finals
championship will close with Mrs. Frank
R. Keefer at noon tomorrow. Mrs.
Betty P. Meckley, who won the title
last year at Chevy Chase Is almost GER
tain not to defend her title. She Is Ill
with a wrenched back.
