-------Dues Tax on Club Lots

It was recently pointed out in a Kipling-er Letter that the Internal Revenue Dept.is trying to impose a 20 per cent tax onlots that carry membership in a commun-ity golf club. This is construed as a "clubdues" tax and has been collected in a greatmany cases. Imposition of the tax probablywill be challenged in court, but throughFebruary nobody' had trial tested it.

PlaintiH Doesn't HaveTo Prove Negligence

In Nuisance SuitBy William Jabine

The owner of a home which was next toa 55-acre wooded tract owned by theSchenectady baseball club may possiblyhave been pleased when he learned thatclub intend-ed to con-struct a Par3 course onits proper-ty. It is cer-tain that hewas any-thing butpleasedwhen con-struction of the course began and the treesand brush on the tract were cut down,leaving the ground completely bare andexposing a layer of fine sand appropriatelyknown as "blow sand."

The work began in the fall of 1954.When the winter winds began to blow theypicked up the sand and deposited largequantities of it on the homeowner's premis-es. His garden was covered, there was alayer of sand on the outside walls of hishome and considerable quantities of sandpenetrated the interior.

Injunction SuitHe brought suit against the Schenectady

club in the spring of 1955 seeking an in-junction to restrain the club from main-taining a nuisance and asking reimburse-ment for the damage already done. Bythis time grass had begun to grow on thenew course, bringing about a cessationof the blowing sand. The trial court re-fused to grant the injunction but award-ed the home owner damages in theamount of $925.

The defendant appealed to the appellatedivision of the Supreme Court, third dept.,contending that as the homeowner hadnot proved negligence in the course of theconstruction work, the lower court haderred in finding that a nuisance had beencreated. The appellate division ruled thatit was not necessary to prove negligence inorder to prove a nuisance and affirmedthe judgment awarding $925 to the ag-grieved homeowner. (Waters v. McNear-ney. 185 N.Y.S. 2d 29. April 23 1959:)

That's What Big Jim GantzTells His Students As TheyWork Back from the Green

ONE of the Ladies' Day regulars - anordinarily pleasant woman in her mid-

30s, dejectedly tramped into Jim Gantz'sDubuque CC pro shop with the lamentthat is heard a few thousand times overevery season in every golf emporium.

«Mr. Gantz," she sighed, "my game hasgone to pot. Simply gone to pot! Why, Ican't even hit a wood shot any more andI used to be one of the longest hittersamong the women around here."

You would think that Big Jim, who ad-mits to 225 pounds but won't concede an-other single ounce - even to himself,would have clucked in commiseration witha long hitter gone wrong, but he extendedno sympathy whatever.

"Mrs. T ," he said, "the troublewith your long game is your short one."

This statement called for an explanation.After hearing what Gantz had to say, thewoman agreed that it was logical. She de-cided to sign up for a series of lessons.

So, the Dubuque pro proceeded toteach her the same way in which he hadtaught Billy Joe Patton, the North Carolinaamateur great, and Cynthia Sullivan, whois making her bow on the Ladies PGA cir-cuit this year.

Hit 125 Yards to Do ItBefore going to the practice area, Gantz

told Mrs. T .. ". . . . .. what he has main-tained practically from the day he startedplaying golf. That is: If you can hit a ballonly 125 yards, you can shoot 90. Butthere is a catch. You have to learn to playthe short game to do it.

So, teaching what he preached, Gantzstarted his discouraged woman playerhitting with a 9-iron from in close to thegreen. After reviewing the fundamentalsof the grip, address, stance, etc., he hadher practice chipping and pitching. Her

target wasn't necessarily the pin or hole.Rather, Gantz had her try to stop the ballwithin an eight ft. radius of the cup.The eight ft. radius is suggested by theDubuque pro because that is' the lengthof the flag pole and makes it easy for theplayer to envision a general area ratherthan a pinpoint target.

As the woman player progressed, Jim

had her move back from the green. In ad-dition to chipping and pitching, he in-structed her to hit with a one-half andthree-quarter swing, the latter depending,of course, on how far she was from thegreen. As she gradually worked back,Gantz determined how far Mrs. T .could hit a ball with a 9-iron without press-
