A significant fact about golf, he
points out, is that a club never fails.
Often the club will abandon or sell a
site to move to d new and more at
tractive location, but once the golf
bug stings the average American the
poison takes for all time
New York is the hub of golf in
this country, the State now having
$50 courses. Illinois comes next with
PAL courses. On the Pacific coast,
California. Oregon and Washington
there are 225 courses, with .l59 of
these in California. The State of Ne
vada lists one course, the only State
thus distinguished. Along the Allan
tic, however, we find Delaware with
but six courses listed.
Pennsylvania has 1S4 courses, while
the District of Columbia, where golf
has taken hold as in few other cities

come readily enough to the
conclusion that for anything extra
in this life they must pay and pay
and pay, may have solace in the fact
that for their golf they pay consid-
erably under the average of other
large cities.
Golf costs the most. according to
statistics recently gathered by II. B.
McMeal, editor of Golfers Magazine
| and one of the golf authorities of
| the United States for 20 years, in
California, Chicago and Detroit 1t
| costs from $1,000 to $500 to begin
golf m these places, while in New
York city the average cost to be-
come initiated in the royal and
ancient sport runs around $3.50. This
the gate of golf. The upkeep, ex-
pressed in annual dues, is on fairly
even average in the cities through
out the country. 1t averages 500.
The average in New York is kept
down because there are so many clubs
where members hold stock interest
so that the membership often becomes
an asset of quick cash value.
Throughout Canada the British Gus
| tom of lower costs prevails among
most of the clubs. There you may
play golf in a private club. in some
of the provinces, for a matter of
few dollars per membership--in some
cases as little as SIS. Scores of golf
clubs in Canada have an entrance fee
of $40. Surprising as 1t may seem to
the average city golfer, there are a
great many $40 golf clubs scattered
about in the United States, too. They
are found in the South and Southwest
In American cities OF $4,000 popuia-
tion and less. which is where the true
golfer really has it soft, the cost of
joining a club averages $50 and the
annual upkeep in dues is a like sum.
The idea of stockholding does not
flourish in cities OF this size because
launching a golf club is project
more of mutual development for
pleasure and recreation than of in
, tricate and more or less hazardous
business risk. as in the large cities.
The smaller city golfer not only has
these advantages in cost, but his club
usually is but a five or ten minute
run from his home or office by motor

ATTRACTIVE EVENTS
ON GOLF CALENDAR

Golf clubs in and near Washington
have planned many attractive events
next month. While there are a num-
Der of tournaments on the October
card, much of the interest is centering
on the District amateur championship,
October and 10, and the District open
championship on October 90 and 23
Both of these events will be held over
the Indian Spring course and the cream
of golfing talent hereabouts will strive
for the laurelS.
There was some talk of changing the
dates of the titular amateur events
due to the possibility of the Nationals
playing here in the world series. Even
though the Senators cop, there will
hardly be any conflict in dates, as the
world series games undoubtedly will
be over by October g.
Peter Jackson, pro at Indian Spring,
and Freddy Mcleod of Columbia are
the instigators of the District open
which will draw several golf stars
here from clubs in Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and Virginia. 1t is planned to
have the competition at 72 holes, medal
play. Plans now are under way to
raise a substantial purse for the
winner.

chance with Sarazen. At the end of the
first 18 holes Nabholtz, who was hav-

found himself down. At the twenty
eighth hole he was all even. Then

seen in this tournament, with both
Sarazen and Nabholtz playing the
most daring and most brilliant golf

produce.
