  History of Golf - Scottish Perspective
Whatever the exact origins, it is known that by the 15th century, "kolf" as it was known in the Netherlands and "goff" as it was referred to in England, was a pastime enjoyed by Kings and Commoners alike.

Great exponents of the game poured out of the US and the US Tour was becoming a multi-million dollar industry with even mediocre golfers, grossing millions of dollars not only through tournament play but also through commercial endorsements.

 Great Triumvirate - J.H.Taylor, James Braid, Harry Vardon
Braid was a great pioneer of golf and will be remembered with great respect and admiration.
As a youngster, he played a game similar to today's pitch and putt where handmade clubs fashioned from oak were used to hit a marble ball (a taw) around a course measuring just 50 yards; not exactly growing up in the shadow of St Andrews.

 Henry Clay
Henry Clay, with John C. Calhoun and Daniel Webster, made up the triumvirate of great statesmen who dominated American politics for over 30 years.
Head of the opposition to President Andrew Jackson throughout Old Hickory's political career, Clay was against Jackson's war with Florida's Seminole Indians, fought Jackson's destruction of the national bank, and pushed through Congress the compromise tariff of 1833 that ended Jackson's Nullification Crisis with the state of South Carolina.
Clay earned the nickname "Great Pacificator" for promoting the Missouri Compromise, the 1820 legislation that successfully eased the nation's tensions over the volatile issue of extending slavery for 30 more years.

The Triumvirate government's instability and lack of direction make it difficult for mercenary units to discern and follow a chain of command, and so the Triumvirate is not considered a good employer.

 Oxford University Press: The Great Triumvirate: Merrill D. Peterson
Arriving on the national scene at the onset of the War of 1812 and departing political life during the ordeal of the Union in 1850-52, Webster, Clay, and Calhoun opened--and closed--a new era in American politics.
They came together in the Senate for the first time in 1832, united in their opposition of Andrew Jackson, and thus gave birth to the idea of the "Great Triumvirate." Entering the history books, this idea survived the test of time because these men divided so much of American politics between them for so long.
Peterson brings to life the great events in which the Triumvirate figured so prominently, including the debates on Clay's American System, the Missouri Compromise, the Webster-Hayne debate, the Bank War, the Webster-Ashburton Treaty, the annexation of Texas, and the Compromise of 1850.
