Title: Did we invent golf? Post by: Reeves for King on Wednesday, December 21, 2005, 23:06:49 Did we?
If we did why the fuck have the US got 3 of the major tournaments. Don't really know why I am interested or how I started considering it; golf is not a sport anyway. :? Title: Did we invent golf?

Pretty sure basketball was invented by an englishman in the late 19th centuary. Might be completely wrong though. Title: Did we invent golf?

Basketball was certainly invented in America....I'm guessing by an American. Title: Did we invent golf? Post by: Tails on Wednesday, December 21, 2005, 23:31:55 Know what golf stands for?

Title: Did we invent golf? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, December 21, 2005, 23:38:21 I'd like to think that we English invented marbles....but apparently not.

What we did do was codify the game and set up the first professional body [Ha Ha] to run the glorious ,beautiful game in our wonderful country.Hence the F.A and not the E.F.A. |
