Bobby Jones once said, “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from good shots-but you have to play the ball where it lies.” Isn’t that a lot like life?

Once you play and understand the game (if you ever really do), it gets in your blood.

We’re passionate about the game of golf and travel. That’s why we’ve developed golf programs created by PGA certified pros. There is no greater thrill than playing a challenging course to test your skills. Whether you’re just starting the game of golf, or have been playing for years, everyone can enjoy the game.

In 100 BC Early forms of Golf traced back to the Roman game of paganica, in which participants used a bent stick to hit a stuffed leather ball.

In 1457 The Scottish Parliament passed several acts banning the practice of the game, along with football (soccer), because the two sports were interfering with archery practice, which was necessary for national defense.

In 1764 The Old Course at St Andrews is reduced from 22 holes to 18 holes. This became the recognized format for the game around the world.
