Introduction

Welcome to the history section of the Golf Course. Like always,we strive to provide material about golf that is both fun and educational. In this particular section, we decided to take some time to look at the history of golf.

Why look at the history of golf? Well, there are a few reasons. The first is that the history of the game is quite interesting and fascinating. Not good enough for you? Well, to understand the game, you must understand what it has gone through to get to the game we now know and love. Did you know that they banned golf in certain parts of the world? Well, in Scotland and other parts of the world, golfing was banned because it was taking men and their focus away for the army and the country using it on a "silly game" of golf! Fascinating, huh?

Well, to your left, you will see links to the different pages of the history section. So if you see something of interest, please check it out. If you would like to read the whole thing, it is designed to be read in chronological order, so start by entering on the page named, How It Began. Enjoy!

Time Line
This is a one page version of the most interesting (at least to me) events that happened in golf. There are many more items on the time line in the Timeline Section, but if you want a quick list ... this is definitely better! Check it out ... it is a nice way to put all the events of golf in perspective.

Teacher's Corner
In every section, we have a link back to our Teacher's Corner, because we hope that this section and this site will be used in the classroom. If you are a teacher and would like to find out about other teachers that are using this site in the classroom or even to find out how to use the internet in the classroom, please stop by ... it will be worth it!
