Country club golf pros were once banned because of their actions, are there any books on this topic?
In the 20′s and 30′s (I believe) teaching pro’s – the golf professional that worked at clubs teaching lessons, etc. Were more often than not alcoholics, loved to gamble and had a tendency to ‘fraternize’ with the members’ wives…..to the point where they became banned from any contact with the club’s women and could not even enter the clubhouses in some situations. Are there any books or articles that can confirm this? Searching for source material and would appreciate the help. Thanks for the assistance!
They were not banned because of behavior, they were banned because the members looked down on them as second class citizens, not good enough to be around the members socially. This attitude was imported to America from the brits, where the gentry or aristocracy would never dream of fraternizing with the hired help. Walter Hagen changed this almost single handedly, and any biography on him will contain plenty of material about this. I know Inverness in Toledo has a grandfather clock in the clubhouse that was presented to the club from the players in 1920 when the players were allowed entry to the clubhouse for the first time.
