1t is easy to understand how
golf has grown when you look
around you from the vantage point
Of twenty years in the game. It is
the same old story of progress
there is always someone standing
ready to take your place. New
members come and the old go-but
the old spirit prevails. In fact new
golfers are SO many now that new
clubs are filled up often before the
course is laid out.
After all it is an endless chain
as it were; first the little group now
grown so painfully few, then the
new members to support the good
work, and those who could not get
in going to other clubs that are not
so crowded, and others in turn
going to the still less crowded clubs
are falling in line for the great and
everlasting progress of the game.
