It is speculated that the PGA terminated Brown's membership when they discovered that he was African American. They previously believed he was white because of his light skin color but coincidentally at the time of his dismissal the PGA had recently implemented a Caucasian-only clause in its bylaws. Brown purchased Cedar River Golf Club in Indian Lake, New York, in 1947. His son took it over after Brown retired in 1972. (en)
