Golf Breaks:

Golf Breaks golf breaks's appeal is universal. There are golf breaks courses below sea level and at elevations of more than 14,000 feet, on deserts and in forests, within the Arctic Circle and inside equatorial jungles. Of about 20 million persons throughout the world who play golf breaks, half are Americans. In the early 1970's the United States alone had more than 10,000 golf breaks courses. The rules of golf breaks are determined jointly by the Royal and Ancient golf breaks Club (R. & A.) of St. Andrews, Scotland, established in 1754, and the United States golf breaks Association (USGA), formed in 1894. The former organization rules the game throughout most of the world, the latter in the United States.

In the United States, golf breaks may first have been played in North Carolina in the 18th century. The oldest golf breaks club for which there is unimpeachable evidence was the South Carolina golf breaks Club, established by British planters in Charleston in 1786. It ceased to exist about 1812 but was rechartered in 1969 by the Sea Pines Plantation on Hilton Head Island. The first permanent golf breaks club in the United States was established by a transplanted St. An-drean named John G. Reid near Yonkers, N. Y., in 1886. Reid called the club the St. Andrews golf breaks Club. Although this club has moved its site several times since its founding, it is still in existence—in Mt. Hope, N. Y.


Father said politely, but firmly, "David, I don't need your help. Move off." David slowly put down the tools and walked over to his golf breaks clubs, picked one up and swung vigorously in the air. Father ignored the act. Moments later David, brightened up, asked, "Daddy, could we go golf breaksing after lunch?" "No, children do not play on adult golf breaks courses." "Then could you golf breaks with me, Daddy?" "Well, maybe sometime, but not today."
