The Romans during the reign of Caesar played a game resembling golf by striking a feather-stuffed ball with club-shaped branches. Book illustrations show the Dutch playing a similar game on their frozen canals around the 15th century. Cross-country variations became popular in France and Belgium.
Golf became firmly established in Great Britain by the 17th century when James VI of Scotland, later James I of England, was attracted to the sport. In 1860 the first British Open was played at Prestwick, Scotland. The competition was opened to both professionals and amateurs the following year.
The first permanent golf club in North America, Canada`s Royal Montreal Club, was founded in 1873. St. Andrews, one of the oldest golf clubs in the United States, was established as a 3-hole layout in 1888 at Yonkers, New York. During the next few years numerous 6, 8, 9, and 12-hole courses were opened in the East. The first 18-hole course in the United States, the Chicago Golf Club, was founded near Wheaton, Illinois in 1893. For more recent information about golf, review the links below:
