Expensive Rot

By HENRY LONGHURST

We are always hearing about the alarming cost of golf and indeed at the end of a day's play at any of the bigger clubs one certainly does tend to emerge a great deal lighter in the pocket; but I often think that perhaps It is not the cost of the golf so much as the cost of what ttes behind it.

Some of the figure; involved are really frightening. The Wentworth Club, for instance, decided to modernise and enlarge their bar, the more effectively and con- genially to rake in the day-to-day income on which alone

such a club relies for survival. It cost them £7,000, or the equivalent of two complete first-class dwelling houses before the war.

Across the water Portmarnock improved their club-house and I have read that it set them back £24,000 Now, Walton Heath have had to find some £30,000. The members-to say nothing of casunt visitors like myself who have been going there for the best part of 30 years were very attached to their club-house, archale though donté paris of li were, but they had no choice in the maller. It was a case of re- building or having it eventually fall down on top of them.
