Advance reservations. In the municipal golf course at Houston, Texas, 

 golfers are permitted to reserve starting time for days ahead. For each 

 reservation of this kind an additional fee of ten cents is charged. Through 

 such an arrangement players may plan twosomes or foursomes a week 

 ahead. Their reservation then is listed in a book kept for the purpose and 

 when the time arrives the starter calls the names. Only half the starting 

 periods may be reserved in this way, the other being left open to serve the 

 remainder of the public. Under the plan of operation, matches are started 

 away at intervals of five minutes or twelve matches to the hour. Six of 

 these twelve periods may be reserved. Players without reservation must 

 await their turn in leaving the first tee and the rule '* first come, first served" 

 is in force. 



At Jackson Park, Chicago, Illinois, the following rules are in effect: 



On a "first-come, first-served" basis, persons desir-

 entitling bearer to privilege to play. These tickets, 

 which must be purchased before starting out on the 

 course, are carried as credentials by the players after 

 leaving the first tee and are checked from time to time 

 while out on the course by game attendants assigned 

 to that duty. The ticket sale opens not less than fifteen 



minutes before play can start, at dawn every morning. 

 Applicants for tickets stand in one of two lines, accord- 

 ing to the type of tickets they wish to secure. The 

 person first in line has first choice under the conditions
