Puyai Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I know it's not been around that long, but you should try this thing called Google. I think it might catch on.. http://www.scottishgolfhistory.org/origin-of-golf-terms/18-hole-round/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckd Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 really sorry for asking a question just thought it would be interesting I wont bother again Keep bothering. Don't worry about the grouches. As for me, I enjoyed reading about the history behind 18 holes. I had always heard the story abut a bottle of scotch whiskey only having 18 shots in it and then they had to retire to the pub, but I never really believed it. Having played the Old Course many times, a couple of interesting facts about it are... There are only two par fives and two par threes. The par fives are holes numbered 5 and 14, which when added together total 19. The par threes are holes numbered 8 and 11, which add up to 19 as well. There are seven double greens, which when you add their numbers together all total 18... (i.e.....2 & 16....3 & 15....4 & 14....5 & 13....6 & 12....7 & 11....8 & 10) The single greens are holes humbered 1, 9, 17 and 18, which have no mathematical significance whatsoever. Keep posting, love your avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
