Distance of Each Hole at Chevy Chase Club Will Be Made Plain for Golfers CARD TO SHO FROM EACH Chairman Thompson Ha Made in Connection With Improvements That Are Being BY W. R. McCALLUM. HERE is to be no further am- biguity about the distance of the golf course members of the Chevy Chase Club play in cheir rounds over the fascinating lav- out, the Capital's oldest and one 1 its finest golf courses. In connection Wwith the construction of several new tees, rehabilitation of old ones and a new location for at least one, Chairman Thompson of the Chevy Chase golf committee has dr:em*.lulr_d scheme to make it impossibie x{:or;ox;“? player to fail to know the dis- tance of the course he is plaving To this end he has p]urn“m l»l(\.r s of A printer new score Carcs }lflnrnd(h? murspc of the Chevy Cha: Club. on them plainly printed the vary ing distances of each hole from the X ne rear tee. the so-called “mid and the front tee. The holes have been accurately meas- ured from the middle of each tee to the middle of each green, so the most captious visual estimator may not h(\l‘fl that because the card piaces the hole at 427 yards it is 435 or more. Par of 63 Is Different. Chevy Chase, it may be mentioned in passing, has the lowest par for & regulation length course around Wash- ington. Its par. and also its competi- tive amateur cours® record, are 69— the par set according to the official i tance ratings of the United States Ge Association and the amateur record A cording to the local arbiter of course records—George J. Voigt of Bannock- burn. Of course, Bob Barnett has shattered par several times, and has gone as low as 66 over the course, but Voigt's ama- teur mark of 69, made in t alifyving round of the tourney last vear, stands as the lowest in competition. It was later tied in a friendly match by Charles M. Mackall of Chevy Chase. From the front tees of the set of three to each hole, which is to be vir- tually_uniform at Chevy Chase under the plans of the golf committee. the course measures 5.747 yards. From the mid tees. which are and will be the ones ordinarily used throughout the season. the lavout measures 6.205. But | when the real long hitters gather their | 43-inch shafts around their shoulders | to try out their length they may .zend their mighty waliops booming over a course which measures 6.505 vards, for | that is what Chevy Chase measures from the middle of the back tees. And if any man thinks a 6.505-vard course, trapped as well as that of Chevy Chase, 18 & hog-tied cinch, he should be able to give Bob Jones a bisque or two and trounce him. The distances are all to be printed on the cards, according to the tees used. To Construct New Tees. Back tees are to be constructed on the second. third. sixth and seventh on | the first nine. A new rear tee. which will make the hole measure some 168 yards, now is under construction at the | short fourth hole. while the plans of the golf committee call for a tee near the fence 18 vards back of the present mid-tee at the sixth. | In the Summer time this hole may be reached in two, granted a long tee shot but under present weather conditions it takes a real tee shot and an equally | real second to get home. Yet the par is 4. At the seventh hole a new front tee i to be added, which will lessen the carry for the medium length driver and permit the long hitter to carry across the corner of the rough. The eighth and ninth hole are well supplied with tees, particularly the eighth, where a deep back tee makes two fine shots nec- | essary to carry the guarding bunkers at | the top 6f the hill. | A new tee, 15 yards back of the old tee, is already in commission at the short tenth and the golf committee plans to use part of the back tee at the eleventh, stretching that hole out to de. mand two long shots to reach the well i green. { Some More Changes. ! The twelfth will have a new rear| tee, while the short thirteenth will have | 8 new front tee for use in windy eather and under upusual conditions. | At the fourteenth a tee construct- o4 a littl h sent Pneumatic Truck Ti Real Non-Skid PERFORMANCE Slow, Even Tread Wear MORE PEOPLE RI GOODYEAR TIRES ANY OTHER KI Cosa e =< TS S e .

The schedule has not been arranged. or at least i part, because the women golfers asked Robert T. Barnett, president of the local pro body. to postpone forma- tion of a schedule until the women could move toward arrangemesnt of their schedule. O { reasons, accord- ing to Barnett, was that the fafr sex goifers wish to play in more mixed foursomes with the professionals partners, an innovation that was ular last vear. | If the women arranzed their monthly tournament dates for out the season. they m! ths events set the which are usually held on Monds & WHITTEMORE & INCHES FROM DIN CARTER HOLED OUT St gy~ approach on this 130-varder stopped 6 inches from the cup.
