<italic>Scope of study</italic>. This study focuses on ritualized symbolic practices of civility that existed in the American golfing society during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The ritualized symbolic practices of civility are rules and restrictions that dictate what a person should and should not do. The ritualized practices of civility are similar to the types of practices found in European noble pastimes. The method of content analysis was utilized in this study. Five sources were analyzed they include, the United States Golf Association Annual meeting minutes, the United States Golf Association Executive Committee meeting minutes, the United States Golf Association Bylaws and Rules of The Game, Golf Journal articles, and Popular magazine articles on golf. The assumption for the study was that ritualized symbolic practices of etiquette existed in the American game of golf during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These practices dictated a civilized code of conduct which designated the game for the upper social class. The lower classes were discouraged from participating in the game of golf. This study also analyzed how the game of golf was changed and influenced by American values, beliefs, and attitudes. The rational for the study was supported by a conceptual model that focused on personal experiences of the writer who has participated in the game of golf for many years. Frequencies for the categories and sub-categories of the study were obtained by utilizing content analysis. Illustrative material and theoretical interpretations were also utilized to support the assumptions. The theory of structural ritualization was used to assist in the development of research categories, methodology selection, selection of illustrative material, and theoretical interpretations.

520 $a <italic>Findings and conclusions</italic>. It was found that ritualized symbolic practices of etiquette were present in the game of golf during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The ritualized practices of etiquette had a high degree of repetitiveness. The practices of civility were important in the golfing world by the demonstration of sanctions. The golfer who complied with the practices of civility, were formally and informally rewarded and those that failed to adhere to the practices of civility were formally and informally punished. It was found the game of golf was designated for the upper social class. The literature revealed that the ritualized symbolic practices of etiquette set the upper social class apart from the lower classes. The game of golf was also primarily designated for men of wealth and social influence. There was also a high degree of resources present in the game of golf. The resources were available for the upper social class and the lower classes lacked availability of the resources. It was found that the game of golf was changed and influenced by American values, beliefs, an attitudes. A new class of play emerged which contained both traditional styles of play from Europe and a new style of play from America.
