"Unfair Tactics"
Some of the members pointed out that not only is the course not a good one but players have to be careful of the children, who use it as a playground. Children are prevented, however, from damaging the greens.
USED BY FOUR CLUBS
The course is used by four clubs, Mitcham, Clapham, Croydon... and Mitcham Village, and a com- mittee of members has been form- ed to make suggestions for the improvement of fmances by other means than that of increased fees.
The proposals will be placed be fore the committee of trustees, which controls the course, when it meets in a fortnight.
Visitors said they had enjoyed playing over the course during the
