Saw that you referenced Michael Wolf aka BamaBearcat. He almost certainly has a copy. I sent him a copy of my clubs book (Richmond Golf Club, the antithesis of SFGC in most ways) and he said he often sends the book to the USGA for archival. I’d guess they have a copy as well.
I mean, that's great and I'm very appreciative! I just think it's pretty ridiculous that there isn't a copy of every single club history going directly to the USGA, Library of Congress, and nearest local library by default. The marginal cost of a few copies for research and archival purposes is negligible.

Also, kudos on actually reading the footnotes.
