| Abstract/Contents: | Compares ancient golf courses to modern ones. Discusses differences in hole number and course maintenance. States that "the number of holes which are now considered indispensible -- nin, or its double, eighteen. A modern golfer would be horrified with any deviation from that orthodox number...yet the oldest club in the world...Blackheath, by London, had only five holes up to 1776, and never has had more than seven." Also states that "there was no such thing as cutting the grass even on the putting-greens." |
