Membership
The paid up membership of the
Club is now over sixty and there are
many whose names are listed but VINO
have neglected to pay their dues thus
many more who wish to join but who
are waiting to be asked. It is not
necessary to be invited to join. just
hand in your name at once and the
secretary will do the rest. Dues may
be paid to any one of the three per-
sons mentioned above.
Members are entitled to give the
full privileges of the Club to their
nonresident guests at any time.
There has been considerable COM
plant from the members concerning
the non-observance of the rules re-
garding children under sixteen being
on the golf course during the evening
when there are so many playing. 1t
is not only very hard to play with so
many on the course, but it is very dan
gerous. Eyes have been put out and
other serious accidents have occurred
on other links and it is quite possible
for them to occur here. Parents are
urged not to let their children take
such chances. The Club will not be
responsible for any accident.
Ground Rules
Ground Rules were originally de-
signed for strict observance! In spite
of this they are broken constantly
and thinking that this may be because
the members have not yet fully learned
them, the Gazette reprints them here.
It is suggested by certain members
qvho have observed the liberal smash
ing of these rules, that all members
study them carefully giving especial
attention to those in heavy type which
seem to be the ones most frequently
disregarded. These rules are also
printed on the back of each score card.
