There are ut least half doGen good
driving ranges scattered around in
nearby Maryland and Virginia, with
most Of them in Maryland. They do
most Of their business after dark, and
they pack 'em in from 8 pm. to mid
night. Their business swells on warm
nights and an after-dinner shower
ruins their take" But by and large,
right on through the warm months the
driving range operators do all right.
Another pro at one Of the larger
ranges tells me he gives 20 lessons
a Gay, which means 20 half-hours at
buck. Lots Of club pros would like
to do as well, even at the higher rates
they get. From these driving ranges
come the golfers who there take their
first sock at golf ball, become innoc-
ulated with the links virus, take up
the game on the public courses and
later join private clubs. The driving
range is big part of the golf picture
as it is around Washington today.

DRIVING COURSES
BOOM GOLF HERE
Ranges, Making Big Money,
Provide Incubators for
Links Customers.
By WALTER McCALLUM.


One Of the contributing factors to
the mushroom growth Of golf around
the National Capital over the last few
years has been the driving ranges,
where some of our better-known pros
spread the gospel Of better shotmaking
at so cents . bucket for golf balls and
perspiring buffers whack EN- out under
the food lights at night.
Almost anywhere you turn these
summer days you'll drive past driv-
ing range. where you can thump out
100 balls for half cent apiece It's
cheap way to sharpen your links eye,
and the driving ranges have contrib
uted no little to the growth in the
game Of golf around Washington.
Ranges Busiest at Night.
Most Of their business is done at
night, under the big lights and where
in former years the golfing public went
strong for Tom Thumb golf today they
are going stronger for the driving
ranges. And there's money in the
business, SO the operators OF the driv-
ing ranges tell me. One local pro
working for the owner of the range,
said: I'm getting fed up with seeing
this guy make all the dough. I'm 60
ing to get my own range. Do you
know that this bird (and he pointed
to the owner Of the range. who never
has hit golf ball and knows nothing
about the game) banks $4,000 month
clear every month from May to Oc.
tober?"
Maybe he was stretching it little
but the driving range business Is
profitable. Usually located on main
roads in areas where the ground rent
is low, the overhead expenses don't
amount to much and that so cents q
