Golfer's Day/Golf Day (1916)
-- Some believe the word golf is derived from Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden. The modern golf game originated in Scotland in the 15th century. The first written mention was by James II, who banned the game in 1457 because it became a distraction from learning archery. However, a game called paganica was played by Romans in the first century BC, they used a bent stick and a stuffed leather ball. The Chinese played a similar game with a small ball called chuiwan, between the eighth and 14th centuries. The first professional golf tournament was held on April 10, 1916.
Read: Remarkable Golf Courses
-- Remarkable Golf Courses encompasses the extremes of the sport — from the highest golf course, in Bolivia, to the lowest, in Death Valley; from the most northerly in the Arctic Circle to the most southerly in Tierra del Fuego. Golf courses featuring neolithic standing stones, Roman roads, and ruined medieval castles take their place alongside the old temples of Delhi or a UNESCO World Heritage bridge used to link the 9th and 10th at Angkor Wat.
