Thanks to last November's comeback, the G.O.P. controls half of the nation's statehouses, representing 293 out of the 535 electoral votes and 57.5% of the population. Recent Re publican gains in Florida's legislature and the narrow loss of a Rhode Island congressional seat that had been Democratic for 33 of the past 35 years point to continuing strength.

The U.S.G.A. stages nine tournaments of its own, including the U.S. Open, and the ground rules are strict. "We narrow the fairways, raise the roughs and collar the greens," says Executive Director Joseph Dey Jr. "We want our tournament to be a true test of skill." That it is.
