THE raise Of fee at South Grove

Il is up. The figures are a mag
net TO the boys as they travel from
the locker room to the first tee
through the golf shop. AS they
turn away from the sheet, n smile
of satisfaction may be seen on every

Mcintyre, club pro, says the reason
for the smiles are that the handI-
caps have been raised slightly. Max
Buell., who we understand shoots
regularly around 70, 70 and "a is
the low handicap man with an

the counts range on up to thirty.
