Change in the times...

My research looking into the Winter Park Country Club has lead to many interesting discoveries. One of which exemplifies a true change in the times. Through the sorting of dozens of papers, pictures and articles I came across a document from the early twentieth century which shows a major cultural difference in the Winter Park community. The document gave the hours of operation for the golf course and issued special note the fact that NO golf was allowed to be played on Sundays. This may seem like a small detail but shows the difference of culture and the city as a whole. Obviously this rule was based from a religious stand point, an affiliation to the standards of Christianity. Today it would seem politically incorrect for any city funded recreational facility to link itself with any religion. This gives an image of what Winter Park was like back in those time, a portal to past regulations and culture. This one rule can start to paint a picture of what life was like in those days, for better or worse.
