NEW PHILADELPHIA GOLF CLUB
OF SO COBB'S CREEK PLAYERS
WILL HOLD BOOSTER MEETING
By SANDY McNIRLICK


THE Philadelphia Golf Club, brand-new
L body of players who have been entirely
recruited from the golfers at the public
links. will hold an organization meeting to-
morrow night at the Rltz-Carlton Hotel
Officers will be elected, plans discussed for
the afliliation of the new club with the GOLF
Association of Philadelphia, tournaments
planned and the scope of the new club dis
cussed in general.
The Philadelphia Golf Club, which is the
name selected, received instant favor when
1t was first proposed, and the charter MEM
bership list has been filled up virtually
"over night" There are more than SO
lockerholders at the Cobb's Creek course en-
rolled and IL is expected that many more
than this number will attend the meeting
tomorrow night. The work Of organization
so far has been done by Arthur H. Rendell
and II Wellington Wood, who first proposed
the idea.
Won't Interfere
1t was felt that if the players remained
purely individual at the public course the
main benefits of golf course would be
lost, namely. good fellowship and that the
interests of the course could best be fur
thered if the players acted as group rather
than individuals.
The new club does not intend to interfere
in any way with players at the public
tends to look after them by submitting any
complaints or suggestions for the improve
ment of the workings of the course to the
Park Commission and others in charge. II
the membership of the club becomes so
large that there is danger of its crowdng
out nonmembers from the use of the club
house it is intended In time to build club
house.
\ site has been agreed upon, according
to one of the members, who asserted that
when the membership reached 200 the club
house would be started to the right of the
first tee where n mill now is. Clubhouse
plans are, of course, very indefinite.
Dues of the new club will be Sc year
and will he payable in two instalments
Members will receive towels and soap and
many other privileges, such as having their
clubs cleaned. and so forth. Some of the
money will be devoted to the fund for the
links. but much of it will support the tour
