Cheap by comparison
Warren Sye, whose 68 was the best score tor Canada in the second round of the Pacific amateur teams’ golf tournament at Waitikiri yesterday, reckons New Zealanders play their golf cheaply. Sye, aged 30, and a member of Canada’s tri-
umphant Eisenhower Trophy team at the world amateur championship last year, said that golf was way up in popularity in Canada but then so were the fees. At his Weston Country and Golf Club in Toronto, Sye faces an annual subscription of $l5OO, but the
real monetary payment is when one joins the club. The initiation (entrance) fee is $15,000 and that is only par for the course.
One new club in Canada has an initiation fee of $40,000 plus the usual annual dues.
