Expensive to Travel
Then there is the money spent by
golfers at hotels and for travel.
Granted that half of the golfers of
this country do not travel, those that
do average about $50 per year for
travel and hotei--and that totals $37,

And then the liquid bill--even ginger

A concrete instance of what golf
costs may be cited in the one-week
golf trip to be taken shortly by the
Winter Golf League of Advertising

has been taking annual golf trips
for the last 25 years, will hold its
tournament this Winter at ST. Angus

about 900 in the party.
A statistically inclined member of
this league has figured out that the

lhusly: Railroad fares, $4,000; meals
and other expenses on trains, $4,000
hotel bills, $25,000; clothes for trip,

tered largely on the so-called mental

ARMOUR is SECOND
AS MEHLHORN WINS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN JOSE. Calf, December 27.-
wild Bill Mehlhorn of Chicago left
here today with first prize money of
$500, the San Jose Country Club
course record, the title of Santa Clara
Valley open golf champion and the
conviction that he has overcome the
jinx responsible for his frequent
"crackings" at the height of his game
in tournament play.
Yesterday he turned in final round
of Go, five below par and one better
than the course record, to win the
54-hole $4,000 Santa Clara Valley open
golf tournament with a total of 207.
Tommy Armour of Washington, d. c.,
with whom he played the final round,
was leading the field of golf ex-
perts. with 1873, at the end of the
second round, four strokes better than
Mehlhorn.
While the gallery alternated be-
tween applause for Mehlhorn and
curiosity as to how soon he would
crack" Bill proceeded in the first
nine holes TO overcome Armour's lead,
and in the second nine to pile up an
advantage of four strokes over him.
Armour finished the final round with
T3, to win second place with 211 for
the 54 holes.
Mehlhorn shot three brides on the
first nine of his last round and three
on the second nine, taking pars on all
the others except the ninth, on which
he was one over par. On the seven
teenth and eihteenth greens he
missed brides by less than an inch.
His card, 74-6S-65-207.
Others finishing well up in the
money were Johnny Farrell of New
York, who took third with 214; Eddie
Loos, Chicago, 215; Ed Dudley, Okla
homa City. ZIG, and Charley Hueston
of Seattle and John Golden. Pater-

A y exhaustive investigation by
~ the writer, covering a period
"A of three weeks, reveals the
4 u astonishing fact that one of
Americas greatest industries
is golf
For a number of years golf has been
the greatest sport in the numerical
strength of its devotees. Now, after
delving into statistics and data, il can
be said that golf is the costliest sport
in the entire curriculum and that the
money outlay for golf every year is
greater than the huge sums involved
in many industries.
Cost of Playing Game
A very conservative compilation
shows that 1850 400. 900 is expended
every year by the million and II quar-
ter golfers in this country. This
enormous sum covers only the actual
money spent every y months for
club dues, equipment and incidentals
in connection with playing tho game.
One thousand dollars was sct,\l r4,on
as the average amount a golfer spends
every year in support of his faVorite
diversion. and when the expenditure
is itemized it will be found this is Il
fair figure.
One billion two hundred and fifty
million dollars! And this does not in
clude the property value Of some 5ne
golf courses. A minimum of 100 acres
is required for a course, with an
average cost per acre of $4,000. Here
is a grand total of $l,400, 100000 in
real estate value alone.
In the average yearly cost of $1,000
per golfer is not figured the expense
of cleaning of clubs, functions of his
club, lessons for himself or for mem
bers of his family or purchasing of
stock to join club.
How 1t Is Divided
The thousand dollars is apportioned
as follows:
Club dues, S100; balls, $100; clubs,
$50; clothes, $500; caddies, $1O0; lunch
cons, ETC., $f00, and incidentals, $40.
This is a general average figure.
Some clubs demand more dues than
800 a year. A dozen golf balls a
month are allowed in this computa-
ton, while it will certainly cost $50

not himself. His long lay-off was
found to have affected his legs when
the real test came. and the mental
edge was sharply against him. Tun-
ney, in perfect condition and mentally
