History

The game of golf is believed to have originated in Scotland many centuries ago and is now played by people of all ages in nearly every country.

In golf, unlike most sports, you don’t have to be big, strong, fast or part of a team to be successful. Anyone – men, women, young or old, amateur or professional can enjoy golf.      

                   History

The game is steeped in tradition. The rules are uniform the world over and the unique handicapping system allows people of different abilities to play with and against each other.  You can view information on how to obtain a handicap here
