...Letting San Francisco Lincoln-Mercury Dealer Eddie Lowery pay his way to a long list of amateur golf tournaments seemed all right to U.S. Amateur Champion Harvie Ward. Lowery was his boss, and Lowery told him, said Harvie, that it did not matter that the U.S. Golf Association had given him expense money too. The U.S.G.A. saw things somewhat differently.

And the rapacious golf pro, who year after year keeps promising his customers that their game will improve, is in a sense the guardian of the American dream. At Happy Knoll, a bit of snobbism is not only the opium of the Mrs. but the Miltown of both sexes ("How many Cadillacs are there...
