Discourtesy to University Golfers.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Owing to the fact that a great many men who have no right to do so are playing golf at the Oakley Country Club, and are thereby making it extremely doubtful whether the University team will be allowed to practice there next spring, I am writing this letter to present the golf team's side of the case.

The Oakley course is the only one near enough to Cambridge for the team's use, and for a number of years the directors have been kind enough to allow a certain number of Harvard players to use the links all spring, upon the payment of a certain fee. The payment of this fee does not carry with it the privilege of playing there in the fall, however, and at present the only men having the right to use the links are--(1) members; (2) guests, introduced by and playing with a member, who have paid the greens' fee of $1.00. It is distinctly against the rules for men to play there more than once a month, even if so introduced, and the present practice of going out unaccompanied by a member, signing some friend's name, and playing upon payment of $1.00 at the caddy house will probably result in the golf team's losing its spring privileges if persisted in by the rest of the College.

The Oakley course is not a public one, open to anyone upon payment of a certain fee, and I sincerely trust that this appeal on behalf of the golf team will be heeded by the undergraduates, because it is of vital importance to us that we have some place to practice next year, and this is the only one available.
