In no time, the price of memberships shot up so high that some are now more expensive than seats on the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange. The price at the Los Angeles Country Club rose from $3,000 (in 1953) to $10,000, and members who paid a cut-rate $150 in mid-Depression were happy over the best investment they ever made...
