CLUBS HOLD WAR·PLA NI G 10EBy D. C. KENNEDY

GOLF clubs in the Detroit area discussedoperating policies and plans for war

day a month in advance of the opening ofhostilities. Presidents, managers, superin-tendents and pros of many U. S. and Can-adian clubs in the district went into ses-sion at Detroit-Leland Hotel, Nov. 3.

The conference was featured by frankconsideration of the management and fi-nancial problems connected with keepingclubs going satisfactorily under war-timeconditions.

Chief speaker was Prof. Bernard R.Proulx of Michigan State College'S hotelschool. Prof. Proulx likened the club man-agement chart to a four-leaf clover withthe member as the center and the presi-dent, superintentendent, pro and manageras the four leaves.

On how these men cooperate and workin harmony depends the success of theclub. He spoke of the need of fewer com-mittees and less interference with the keymen in their jobs. He said being respon-sible to just one man is plenty. He ad-vised that clubs hire men for these posi-tions who really know their business, then

let them run their jobs and not be toldconstantly what to do.

Failure of golf clubs to operate as busi-ness establishments, according to Prof.Proulx, frequently is due to the lack ofresponsibility for departmental operation.Inexpert meddling of committees dividesresponsibility and handicaps the depart-ment head who should be responsible foreverything coming under his jurisdiction.

A manager should be responsible foreverything inside the clubhouse includingparties, banquets, dances and so on, formaking members acquainted with each .other and for meeting all members. A proshould be responsible for seeing that mem-bers have games arranged if they havenone, running tournaments, giving lessons,selling clubs and other equipment, and forall other matters pertaining to play. Thesuperintendent should have full charge ofthe grounds. He should not have to re-model certain holes to please individualmembers. That work belongs to an archi-tect. Clubs should keep in service a green-chairman, providing he's the right type,so improvements are made on a long-rangeplan.

Prof. Proulx suggested having a bulletinboard to keep all members informed ofnew work being done, and why.

Another very fine suggestion was thatthe president and all the key men get to-gether once a month for the purpose ofgetting all grievances and misunderstand-ings straightened out.

There also was discussion about themanager, pro and superintendent at clubs

not being presented in the right light totheir members. It was suggested that eachone should be introduced at the start of agolfing season in a get-together affair somembers could get acquainted with the de-partment heads and understand some oftheir problems. Or, a small book or leafletcould be sent the members early in thespring giving a resume of departmentheads' experiences at that club or otherclubs they have served, so the membersmay know their men know their business.Members at clubs often are inclined toconsider a manager just a steward, a projust a man who gives lessons at highprices, and the superintendent just afarmer out on the course, instead of giv-ing these men their merited ratings asexecutives.

On the matter of meetings of commit-tees at the clubs it seems to be the prac-tice for directors to make out their pro-grams for the year for the manager, proand superintendent, then not giving outany information on what transpired at themeeting. Then the officials come out in afew days and expect department heads toknow what happened at the meeting.

On the budget question it has been foundthat by checking the members and thentaking out all taxes and other fixedcharges the club gets a good idea of howmuch money it has spent; then each de-partment is told when that's gone there isno more.

The caddie problem is serious. Withdefense programs in full swing, older cad-die , are being drafted, enlisting, or work-ing in factories. Some clubs have success-fully experimented with installing workshops for caddies and buying them toolsto keep them busy and interested when noton the course.

Prof. Proulx made the pointed tate-ment that what clubs need today are ac-tivities that will bring in more revenue.Bowling alleys for winter use have beenprofitable. The president of one of De-troit's prominent clubs relates that whenthe swimming pool at his club becameidle, it was covered and six bowling alleysinstalled. He states their bar is doingseven times as much business as it form-erly did and restaurant business hasdoubled. They paid for their alleys inthree years. The pro is in charge of thealleys, thus giving him a year around job.

"There seems to be a great demand nowfor year around activity at the golf clubs,"Prof. Proulx said, "and here I list the pro-gram for winter sports for this winter atmy own club, the Birmingham GC. Trap-shooting, tobogganing, sleigh riding, skat-ing, bowling, badminton, keno parties, pingpong, and parties which include dancing,with an instructor from Henry Ford'sGr enfield Village giving instruction in oldtime and modern dances.

There is also a lot of talk about cliquesat golf clubs, which is bad, especially whennew members are coming in. Often mem-bers say to club employees, "What do youhave to do to get someone to play with youif you come out without some friends ofyours ?"

At this Detroit club operation confer.ence it was agreed that more considera-tion should be given the public courses,cradles of golfers who later join privateclubs. The idea of free golf lessons athigh schools, with a P.G.A. instructor incharge, was noted as needing continuouspush. Another suggestion advanced wasthat clubs have an 'open house' day and letinvited people play the cours , use theclubhouse, and see what you have.

provide for a $25 (plus tax) admissionfee and monthly dues of $10 (plus tax).Upon the Junior Term member attainingthe age of 29 his membership shall termin-ate and he shall have the right to convertthe Junior Term membership into a Reg-ular or Associate membership by paymentof the then fixed membership fee I acredit of the fee paid as a Junior Termmember, and shall thenceforth pay thethen establi hed dues of such Regular orAssociate membership.

Of the new Junior Term membershipWilshire's president L. J. Soracco tellsthe club's members:

"It is found that the old rand e tab-lished clubs - those having large realestate holdings, because of th operationexp nse and particularly the large taxburden, have monthly membership duesaveraging from $18.00 to $25.00 permonth. In such clubs it was ob ervedthat very few, if any, member w r be-tween the age limits of 21 and 29 years.It th r for is quite appar nt that theyounger professional man or bu in s manduring th se times has found it conomi-cally difficult to belong to th private club.

"Th burd n of the du s is a bit morthan th younger man, who i ju t out ofcolI g or who is starting in hi bu ine sor prof s ion, can undertake-but it inecessary that the club, to p rpetuate it-self, hav younger men. Wilshir has onlyone m mber at present who is within thiage limit.

"A prominent club in San Francisco,and a number of clubs on th East Coa t,in r co nizing this situation hay deter-min d that it is for th b st int r t oftheir particular club to cr at thi claof memb rship within the approximateage limit of 21 to 29 years, and all clubthat have provided for this typ of mem-bership have a waiting list."
