ship was effected when the rule to
permit an interchange Of golf
privileges was adopted. All but one
member OF the local association ac-

Many vital matters will come be-
fore the members at this annual
meeting. Election of officers is one.
A vote to refuse or accept the u. S.
G. A. offer to give local clubs
benefits Of a pool purchase of golf
club equipment will be held. If the
local clubs get such an advantage
it will mean thousands OF dollars a
year saving, according to Lee.

of lost ball or delay, means a
difference Of many persons a day
