Idea is to practically put the golfers under contract to attend church regularly through the winter If the church stops pcsierim? ihcm during the summer. H(;ail3 of familicij wlio In former times had a sense of responsibility about church-going have stopped during the golling seiison and ended up by almost novor going. I'reach- era are also u.sing the old ga.^ of giving everybody a title.
