Golf Becomes Big Business In
RIVAL TO CRICKET RACING NOW AMONG COUNTRY'S SPORTS
The golf craze has hit Australia hard; in fact, it has become so popular that it is fast rivalling cricket and racing, at present dominant "down under." Jim Ferrier and von Nida are the lead- ing players, and they are good enough to be considered among those in the running for the British Open this year.
There are 781 golf clubs in Australia, made up of: New South Wales 285, Victoria 249, Western Australia 90, South Australia 65, Queensland 61, Tasmania 31. Taking into account the public links which have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years, Australio possesses more than 1,000 courses.
Among them 250,000 golfers ( conservative estimate) own clubs and

There are inland courses; there are seaside and country courses; there are publie links. Supplying the de- mund for go on a pay-as-you play plan, these last-named have grown phenomenally in the last few years.
The success of one, the Yarra Bend National Park Links, near Met- bourne, has been nothing short of romantic. About five years back. the Park Trustees undertook the very expensive job of converting a waste area of parkland into one of the most picturesque playing-areas ever known. The reward for this is that every year thousands of pounds come in in two shilling and sixpenny and eighteen-penny green fees.
UNEXPECTED HAZARDS
In the “outback" areas, golfing gels a little rougher. In these areas there are sand and greens and all sorts ur unexpected hazards.
