At first there were reasons why it did not appear to be a game to which the American temperament would seem to be permanently attracted, and grave doubts were expressed as to its ability to hold its own in this country. Such was the reception of golf. As time went on, however, and the game became more widely known a change occurred. The extreme enthusiasm of those who took it up induced others to play, and every day added to the ranks of its adherents. The secret of the game was no longer a sealed book; its apparent simplicity and lack of interest were seen to be delusions, and its success was assured. Upon every side golf clubs sprang into existence, and the formation of aN ational Association became a necessity.
