• Way over in China, a game that sounds vaguely similar to golf as we know it today was being played with an odd assortment of clubs. The widely held view of origin, however, always rests with the Scots.
• We know for sure that the first golf course originated in Scotland. Step onto the land at Musselburgh Racecourse (the Old Links) and you will walk in the footsteps of the first players to walk an organized, planned course.
• The old course of St. Andrews featured fewer than 18 holes, which was not uncommon for early courses. Often, the first courses would present 10 or more holes. Golfers would simply turn around and replay a few of them to add up to 18 holes played.
