WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1919 H.C.OF L HITS GOLF ENTHUSIASTS Clubs in This Vicinity Take Action to Increase the Fee for Joining Li Clubs A 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. Takes $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 not found a buyer. The Westmoreland club has a membership of 400 and has recently increased the cost of a certificate of naembership from $300 to $500. Its annual dues are $100 Bob O'Link Increases The price for membership in the Bob O'Link club at Highland Park has also been increased to $500. In spite of this increase the records show that there are over two hun- dred on the waiting lists of the four clubs. The clubs maintain excellent links and there are 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 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.
