LY County, Va., a brassie shot or two from Fort Myer and the wireless| towers at Arlington, is only a little | more than three years old, but already plans are in the making| for another 18-hole golf course of championship length, to be start- ed next Fall and complet®d next year, which will give the service club larger golf facilities than| any golf organization around the Capital. Col. A. J. Cogper, chairman of the club Golf Committee, today announced that a new 18-hole golf course will be started in the Fall, to be about 6400 | yards in length, of championship caliber, to be ready some time next year, de- | signed to relieve crowded conditions on | the present course. The new course will lie generally north and west of thz present elub house, which formerl; used as the Knights of Columbus oun- try Club, but since has been remodeled and converted into a spacious club house for the Army-Navy Country Club. Much of the present golf course of the | club lies in a valley between the hills | over which a scouting party of Con- | federate cavalry pushed to within gun- shot of the Capital during the Civil ‘War. The new course will be built over | the hills which overlook this valley, and will be of more rugged character than the present layout. far have the plans for the new course gone that some of the locations for the putting greens already have been staked out.
