THE fine golf course located
near Four Corners, Nd,
i about two miles northeast

TINE fine golf course located
near Four Corners, Md,
i about two miles northeast
Of Silver Spring, Nd, will.
continue to be operated as such,
and probably as a 9of club for
the remainder of 10 var.
1t will not be operated as a
seml-public course, nor will 1t be
made available for play to the
general public without introduce
ton.
The Indian Spring Golf Club, Inc.
consisting of the officers Of the club
headed by Chester Caywood will vacate
the property tomorrow evening. turning
over the course and club house to In
dian Spring Village. Inc. whose chief
owners are Tom and Nettie Moore. The
owners will attempt to take over much
OF the present membership personnel
Tor the remainder Of the year, and
meanwhile the Indian Spring Golf Club,
As corporation, will liquidate itself,
collecting back dues and paying bills.
n MEANWHILE the membership, much
lVl puzzled by the present state OF
affairs. which is wholly unprece-
dented in golf club operation about
Washington, played golf over the course
YESTERDAY and will play today. Just
what will be their legal status after to-
morrow night, when the property is
turned over to the owners, Is not quite
clear, but Neil Burkinshaw, attorney
Tor the Moores. made 1t plain that the
property known as the Indian Spring
Golf Club will be operated as a golf
course for the remainder Of 1888. and
that probably an attempt will be made
to retain most Of the present member
ship.
The property now leased by the In
dian Spring Golf Club will be turned
over to Indian Spring Village tomorrow
night, following a decision of the club
board OF governors to take that action.
The decision followed q suit filed
few days ago in Rockville. charging
breach Of contract between the incorpo-
rated club and the holding company
known as Indian Spring Village No
tices have been sent to the members Of
the club-between 200 and 300-advis-
ing them that the club must vacate the
property by August l.
Burkinshaw, speaking for Indian
Spring Village. said that at the end OF
the year a reorganization will be ef-
fected and certain Improvements will be
made. The property. which is i'm
proved by a commodious club house and
locker room, was valued several years
ago at about $375 900.
THIS briefly. Is the situation today
regarding Indian Spring. where
groups of puzzled members who
have been with the club for years,
gather and discuss the future of their
club. Never before has similar situa-
tion existed about Washington. the legal
phases Of the affair constituting the
major part Of the problem.
The rspidity Of the whole move has
amazed the members. many Of whom
had 40 idea Of the fast-moving situa-
ton which had developed prior to the
suit filed by the attorneys for Indian
Spring Village. Inc. Last week they
were members of the Indian Spring
Golf Club. Next week they will still be
members, but will they have q golf
course on which to play and to whom
will they pay dues? Altogether 1t is
most unusual situation.
The golf course was laid out by DON
aid Ross in 1921 and turned over to
Tom Moore in 1922 Since that time
it has become recognized as one Of the
finest around Washington. and over 1t
have been played many championships.
It has not been changed since it was
originally constructed.
