unlS year, ana Will get worse before
it gets better. The plain truth is
there aren't enough public lay
outs to handle the hordes Of peo-
pie who want to play on week ends,
for that is the busy time. Present
courses can handle them throughout
the week, but on Saturdays and
Sundays there just isn't room.
Il don't know what we can do,"
said Manager Harry Graham of
Rock Greek Park. I'VE simply can
not put any more people on the
courses, and we haven't room to ex-
pand here. Dozens of people buy
tickets and have to wait so long to
play they turn them back, unable to
spend the time they would have to
wait to play"
Much the same situation exists at
East Potomac Park, although that
layout with three nine-hole courses
and a little more has a better
chance to spread the customers than
has Rock Greek Park. The truth of
the situation Is there are more
golfers than facilities to handle
them. >s-s ,.5 r.-.s
It's a spot for the new Recreation

That they will have to 90 outside the
District is certain, but the need is
there.
