Lewis, United States Army, recently returned from Korea, has been assigned to Fort Jackson, S. C., pending further assignment. He is the son of James Lewis, 206 S. 14th St., Morehead City. Corporal Lewis, on 30-day leave, is now visiting relatives in Nor folk and will return to Morehead City this weekend. Golf- A Community Asset (Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of articles on estab lishment of a golf course in a community. The articles are writ ten by Dr. John Morris, president of the newly organized Morehead City Country club. This organiza tion is working now toward building a golf course in the Morehead City area). There are now approximately 5,000 golf courses in the United States. Of them about 2,950 are 9-hole courses. Private clubs (3,073) constitute the largest group, next comes the privately owned pay-as-you-play course classification (1,061) and then the (736) public courses. There are about 2,742,000 active golfers in the United States. Over 60 per cent of the 73,000,000 rounds of golf played each year are played on the pay-play and public courses. The great extent of traveling done by golfers accounts for many of the smaller clubs accepting de sirable guests for a round on pay ment of fee without introduction by members. That income has been a fairly substantial item in sharing the cost of upkeep of these courses. The visitors become roving adver tisements for these towns and their inhabitants because of the delights of the courses and the hospitality of the clubs. Golf courses have been establish ed in numerous small towns by cor porations in attracting and holding a high grade of employees. Univer sities and colleges also have in stalled excellent golf courses in smaller towns as golf has a high place in physical education pro grams. Its value as a "carry-over" sport gives golf a prominent place in modern school athletic activities. How exceptionally well golf sa tisfies a need in a smaller town recreation facilities was demonstra ted at military training establish ments during the war. Due to trans portation difficulties and inadequa cy of recreation facilities at small towns numerous courses were built or taken over by the Army and Navy. Golf instruction and practice ranges were built and hundreds of +S I thousands of young men learned the game. Indoor war work also brought many new converts into golf as an entertaining and healthy change of activity from factory jobs. Today the wartime influences are reflected in the greatest wave of play the game evier has known. High schools, colleges and golf practice ranges are bringing into golf constantly increasing waves of players. The result is that a small town that does not have a golf course today is not keeping itself attrac tive to its younger people or pro viding its middle-aged men and wo men with a community recreation asset they'll appreciate and support financially. The new golf club in the larger city is so financed and has so much expert talent personally available that its particular needs for gui dance in the earlier stages are read ily supplied. There are a number of success ful nine-hole clubs in towns of 3,000 population, so it may be safe ly said that the normal town of this size having no golf course needs to take prompt action. Among the be nefits of installing a golf course are: (1) Providing play facilities that add to the attractions of the community as a place to live. (2) Community advertising ? there is no "dead town" with a "live" golf course. (3) Self-financing, not only of the golf course but of a community park in addi tion, if the enterprise is properly planned, con structed and operated. In the case of towns having less than 3,000 population, there are many instances where a golf course is desirable. Wherever the resort business is either established at present or may be developed, it will be found that a good golf course will draw profitable busi ness with an added income that ex tends far beyond the limits of the course.
