They practiced dur- ing club periods to improve their playing ability. The Golf Club ben- efited all types of players. To the newer golfers the fundamentals were taught, while the finer points were learned by more experienced players. On days when the weather did not permit outside activity, the members met and discussed golf techniques. Because there were more rainy days than good, club discussion sometimes led to other sports.
