Facts about Golf

What is Golf?It originated in Scotland 500 years ago. Golf, a game played on a large

open course with 9 or 18 holes; the object is used as few strokes as

possible in playing all the holes.

Word "Golf" Come From?The medieval Dutch word "kolf" or "kolve" meant "club." It is believed

that word passed to the Scots, whose old Scots dialect transformed the

word into "golve," "gowl" or "gouf."

By the 16th Century, the word "golf" had emerged.

Sources: British Golf Museum, USGA Library

Why are Golf Courses 18 Holes in Length?Prior to the mid-1760s - and right up until the early 1900s - it was

common to find golf courses that were comprised of 12 holes, or 19, or23, or 15, or any other number.

Then, around 1764, St. Andrews converted from 22 holes to 18 holes.

The reason? Well, everyone knows 18 holes are easier to take care of

than 22!

Eighteen holes did not become the standard until the early 1900s, but

from 1764 onward, more courses copied the St. Andrews model. Then,

in 1858, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews issued newrules.

In 1858, the R&A issued new rules for its members; Rule 1 stated 'one

round of the Links or 18 holes is reckoned a match unless otherwise

stipulated'. We can only presume that, as many clubs looked to the R&A

for advice, this was slowly adopted throughout Britain. By the 1870s,

therefore, more courses had 18 holes and a round of golf was beingaccepted as consisting of 18 holes.
