LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1919 3 H. C. OF L HITS GOLF ENTHUSIASTS Club* in This Vicinity Take Action to Increase the Fee for Joining Club* Close on the footsteps of the high cost of living follows another cause of worry. The already high cost of golfing is going even higher. Act- uated by the increased cost of main- taining the links, and membership a trifle too large for the good of the course, several golf clubs are raising their initial membership fee. The golf enthusiast now faces an outlay in membership cards and equipment approaching $1,000 for the first year and an upkeep cost of several hun- dred dollars from year to year. Take* $925 at Glen View The Glen View Golf club, with a membership of 350, eighteen special members and 115 on the waiting list, has an initial membership fee of $750 and annual dues amounting to $175 a year. The new Evanston' Golf club has a membership of 400. The club is not now Open to new membership but several members have sold their cards lately. The last recorded sale was at $605. A former member who has moved to New York is asking $1,000 for his card, but as yet he has $jot found a buyer. [-The Westmoreland club has a Membership of 400 and- has recently jfncreased the cost of a certificate of membership from $300 to $500. Jts Jtpnual dues are $100. . *, . Bob O'Link Increase* .'•The price for membership in the $ob O'Link club at Highland—Eaik has also been increased to $500. •' In spite of this increase the records phow that there, are over two hun- dred on the, waiting, lists of the four -flubs. The clubs maintain excellent jinks and thjerejare many devotees of the game that are willing to pay the high cost of-following.- the sport. There are two reasons for the in- creased cost of membership. In the first place the clubs are desireous of obtaining increased revenue so that they might keep the course in the perfect condition that discriminat- ing players demand. The cost of labor necessary to the maintenance of the links is increasing and must be met by larger funds. In the second place, most of the clubs have larger memberships than the course can accommodate on special days. At al- most any time during such days players have to wait fifteen to twen- ty minutes for the opportunity to tee off.
