Why are there Eighteen holes
Winner of the U.S.G.A 2016 best golf book award, this comprehensive hold goes through the story of why there are eighteen holes as it tracks the evolution of the old course at St. Andrews and early Scottish golf. Amazingly not until the 1880's was it commonly excepted that 18 holes is normal, prior tothis the quality of turf, bunkers, landscape and layout took priority over the number of holes!
