THE game is decidedly on the in
crease, as it is in this country, and
there, as here, it is no longer the
rich mans game. 1t is not taken
lightly. however, by the men of af-
fairs in that section of the world, but
leading politicians, diplomats, jurists
and others who occupy prominent po-
sitions are regular fans. 1 do not

Many have been of the opinion that
1t was done to propitiate the old war

theory that 1t was done to keep the

At Arequipa is a nine-hole course,
with five extra greens and tees for a

curse is in and around the race-track
If the Sporting Club, one OF the most
famous organizations in that section
of the world. Upon these grounds
also are tennis courts, football fields
place to play polo, and sections set
aside for other sports.
THERE is no doubt that of all the
i countries to the south of us Ar
gentina leads in the matter of golf,
and it Is estimated that there are
more than 10000 golfers in the coun-
try. Those who have lately returned
from there say that the members Of
the fair sex are the greatest enthu-
siasts, and that they also excel in the
matter of numbers. In the oIden
days the principal sport of the young
women consisted of riding horseback.
and many Of these misses, and young
matrons, too, have forsaken their for
mer sport for that made famous by
the brothers Of Bobbie Burns.
Golf is not a new game in Argen-
tina. They have used driver, brassie,
spoon, midiron and putter there for
the last thirty-odd years. They have
been aided, not only by the excellent
climate, but also by the natural firm
ness of the turf. and in addition to
these advantages there is also the
pre-disposition of the inhabitants to
physical exercise.
In the suburbs of Buenos Aires
there are at least dozen extensive
courses and all are kept in fine con-
dition. Take, for instance, a few of
the larger clubs-Argention, San
Andres. San Isdiro. Nottingham, Lo-
mas de Zamora, Swift (La Plata),
Ituzaingo, Saenz Pena, Campana and
Berual Cat Quilmes). Other fine links
are at Rosario, Alta Gracia Cruz
Chico and Acochinga. These are in
the interior of the country, while in
addition there are several seaside
courses, such as at Bahia Blanca
and Mar del Plata, the latter being
about a nights ride from the capital.
These golf grounds have been pro-
nounced by experts as ranking with
any of the famous courses in the
world. The clubhouse and grounds
Of the Mar del Plata Golf Club cost
100000.
oh In, mr.
the Argentine winter season in golf
has its beginning in April, owing to
it's position relative to the equator,
and ends in October. 1t is in this
season that numerous matches are
played between the clubs. the great
est event being the open amateur
contest for the River Plate champion
ship This event brings devotees of
the game not only from all parts of
Argentina but from other countries
as we'll. After this season closes the
golfers go to mountain resorts or to
seaside places. and here the season
runs from December to April. so there
is a practically unbroken cycle for
those who love the game. The prin-
cipal mountain resort is Cordoba and
the seaside honors fall to Mar del
Plata.
The president of Argentina is an
enthusiast and among the others
whose names rank high on the po-
litical and social register are the
Elortondos, the Alvears. the Gonzales
Guerreros, the Alinmadas, the Del
Among the other eminent Argen-
tinians are enrolled the names of
