bright sunday typing- in the year 1888 a scotchman named robert lockhart was walking along the bud- son river in new york city lock- hart made frequent trips to europe in connection with his importing

open meadow he teed up a ball and selecting a driver whacked out a long drive the ball whlzsed right by the ears of an iceman look out dad cried one of hisi sons you almost hit that man and there is a mounted police watching you at this the policeman wheeled his horse and came charging across the meadow but fortunately for the fu ture of american golf the policeman smiled hey you said the officer let me try to hit that ball soon after this lockhart explained the game to a neighbour named jock reid held owned a small pasture lot just enough for three holes of golf soon with other friends the
