RAKING IN DOLLARS
i CONSIDERING all the engagements they have had in Australia at £2OO a time, Hagen and Kirkwood must have done fairly well from a financial point of view. Some of the country clubs found them too expensive. Among the country trips which did not mater- . ialise was one to Orange. The Oranqe Golf Club, realising the benefit that would accrue to the game from exhibitions by the two world-famed players, decided to guarantee them £75 and also to allow them the proceeds from the sale of tickets at 5s each, after the club had deducted £25 follow- ! ing the sale of £75 worth of tickets. Kirkwood wrote that the arrangement was unsatisfactory and stated that unless the tickets were sold at 10s (pfus tax) for men and 5s (plus tax) for women, the visit would not be made.
