  • Golf Tournaments - an Insight
    Once upon a time, the world’s best golfers were all British – usually Scottish. Since the early twentieth century, though, most of the leading golfers have been American.
  • Anyone for Tee?
    Even though golf is quite a simple game, there is no shortage of variations on the concept and different ways to play.

    The basic golf game is generally referred to as stroke play – tournaments work using the stroke system, and it is the most widely-played version of the game. In this game, for every shot you make under or over the par of each hole, you have one point either subtracted from or added to your score.
  • Did You Know that Golf was Invented in Scotland?
    Golf was invented in Scotland, and dates back to at least the 17th century, possibly even earlier – the name is believed to come from an Old German word, ‘gowf’, meaning a club or bat. The oldest golf course in the world is Musselburgh Links, but there are many vary old golf courses in Scotland, most famously St. Andrews.
  • Golfing Rules - Explained
    The rules of golf are relatively simple once you know them, but they take a while to explain. If you’re not even sure of the basics, read this: the object of the game is to hit your ball from the start (tee) of each of the 18 sections of the course (holes) into the hole itself. The hole is situated on a particularly short and well-maintained piece of grass (the green), and once you’re on the green you must use a putter (a club with a slab-like end) instead of a normal golf club.
  • Golf - the Rich Man's Hobby?
    Golf was invented in 15th-century Scotland, where some of the world’s oldest golf courses are located. It is a relatively simple game that sees you using a club to hit a ball into a hole, yet it is also complex, mainly thanks to the huge size of the courses compared to the tiny balls and holes.
