Burning Tree Golf Club loses bid to regain tax break
The all male Burning Tree Golf Club in Bethesda failed in its Supreme Court bid to restore a tax exemption after Maryland canceled the arrangement for denying women members. The Maryland Court of Appeals upheld that denying women could not force the state to subsidize the club, which faced loss of more than 300000 dollars yearly. The ruling could push the club to choose among maintaining an all male membership with higher taxes, admitting women, or selling land to developers.

Virginia and the District launch new games, boosting regional competition and potential revenue losses for Maryland. The state reduced odds to 1 in 7 million for prizes to lure players, but regulars oppose the changes as winnings shrank.
