Soon after the repeal Of golf pro-

was 1853 years later that it expanded
to allow club privileges.
Meanwhile the "goff," "gouff

dropped and the game became
known simply as golf"
The balls - "featheries" - orig

early Scotch hooking and slicing.
One century later golf made its
first appearance in the New World.

A law was passed in l457 which
provided that any Scotsman caught
digging a divot would be forced to
replace the divot under police SUI

The Scots voiced strenuous objec-

was dropped; instead OF using up
right sticks for goals" the Scots

Williams standing as the most out
standing high school player in the

the lads will vie again for the coveted

In his early years at Omaha he
