Gin membership at least) with the year
1920, for that year ushered In decade
which has seen golf and golf clubs
grow to unsurpassed proportions. This
year there have been an unusually large
number Of designations at the clubs near
Washington, and many of them are
in a position to take in new members
without delay. Where some time would
be required to put through a member
ship in past years, little time is required
now. And now, more than any year
in the past half dozen, is the time for
golfers wishing memberships in private
clubs to secure them.
Washington Is particularly fortunate
In having large number of golf clubs
which have exceptionally fine courses
and unusually low dues.
r. T. Harrell, who organized q trip
of Washington Golf and Country Club
golfers to Pinehurst last February, is
arranging a party for the Annapolis
Roads Golf Club. Harrell has q cot
tage at Bay Ridge, which is near An
napolis Roads, and has asked a dozen
members of the Washington club to
be his guests and play Saturday and

familiar with the charges levied against
members Of golf clubs in other cities
have little idea of the comparative cost
Of golf in Washington as compared with
such cities as Philadelphia, New York
or Chicago. Nor do they have much
idea of the accessibility of the clubs
near the Capital as compared with
clubs near these cities.
The normal membership fee at clubs
about Washington is in the neighbor-
hood of $100. AT some clubs it Is
slightly more, and at others 1t Is less.
The initiation fee at clubs near Wash
ington probably will not average more
than $3.50. At most clubs near New
York, Philadelphia or Chicago the initia-
ton fee will average 81 900 or more.
IN few words the Washington golfer
i is getting his golf far cheaper than
the golfer in any other city COM
parable in size. Even in Baltimore rates
for membership in golf clubs are higher
than they are here.
The public courses in Washington
have been great breeding grounds for
prospective members of private clubs
about the Capital.
Prior to the advent of the public
courses a decade ago the growth of
membership in private clubs was slow,
but in the past six or seven years mem
berships have increased by leaps and
bounds.

Washington may be said to have started

Hal Poole pitched the whole game
for the Hoyas and save for that eighth

four pitchers.
Johnny Scalzi and Phil Mooney led

Iron shots differ from wood in
another respect. With the latter the
main consideration is distance. In
