The thing that strikes me most about the golf boon in the United Stutes is that, though golf here is much more costly than it is at! Home, it is also much cheaper. You see, this is a country of wide ex-run tremea in New York I have paid 30 cents for a single potato, and I have also had a dinner that cost. half-a-dollar for three of us-the cheapest meal I ever had in my life. And it is the same with golf, In the South of England at any rate, golf is still the "rich man's game." But over here it is both the rich man's game and the poor man'a game as well. You get mil- lionaires' clubs with entrance fees and subscriptions that nobody would pay in England. At the other end of the scale you get small-town courses with subscrip- tions as low as five dollars a year, i

Correction in K.D.R.C.

v. Police Match.

three years ago, the game has grown in an amazing way. There are more than 6,000 golf courses in the States to-day, but the in teresting thing is that they tell me that more than three-fifths of these In the report of the above League are nine-hole courses, laid out in match on Saturday the rinka were the small towns that could not sup- | inadvertently given in the wrong port an eighteen-hole course order. The scores should read :——-

Last Word In Luxury.

The big country clubs, of course, are the last word in luxury, with swimming pools, gymnasia, and all sorts of other sports attractions in addition to the golf, and nothing can be too elaborate in the way of course construction.

At one club, for instance, the clubhouse with the first and tenth. Puncheon tees beside it, stands on a bit of a (Skip)...18 spur overlooking the course. But A. Calman you will look round about the club-H. G. Cooper house in vain for the ninth and J. V. Ranisay eighteenth greens. They are down F. Cullen in the valley bolow, writes. Archie Compston in the Evening Standard. That does not sound too good. A climb from the ninth green to the tenth tee is bad enough, but a climb up to the clubhouse from the eighteenth after the round is over in a weird idea! But wait a minute. There is no climb.

When the course was being con- structed they drove two tunnele in- to the sides of the spur from be- side the ninth and eighteenth 'greens. And after a match has holed out on either of these greens the players walk through the tun- no to a lift that takes them right up again to the tenth tee or the clubhouse!

No Clubhouse,

:..

That is one and of the scale, but at the other you will find small courses laid out on the old Scot- tish principle, with the greens where they are more or less ready- made, and only such natural hazards as brooks and trees to vary theplay. Many of these small- town.courses begin with-only some rude sort of shelter to serve for a clubhouse,

I came across one course where they had no clubhouse of any kind. The club had bought the land and laid out the course, and then had aold the lots round it, with the re- ault that they had got their annual subscription down to 15 dollars.

There are far more municipal courses here than there are in Britain, and they work them in all sorts of different waya. Quito a usual plan is for a corporation to Jay out a public course and get somebody to run it and keep it up, in return for the perquisites. The fees on some of these public courses are as low as 15 cents for a round of nine holes. Even on the really class courses of some of the large cities you do not usually and a higher charge, than a dollar for the round of,aighteen holes, which is cheap as things go here. An- other thing that is quite common here is privately owned courses run on public course lines.

But not only do we want 'better

and stiffer courses in,

also want

courses,
