  • 2011Traditions of Golf Challenge Study Guide
    2011Traditions of Golf Challenge Study Guide HISTORY SECTION PRE - 20th Century “When did the game of golf start?” Golf originated in the 15th century in Scotland. Mary, Queen of Scots introduced the word “caddie” to the game. While playing golf, she was accompanied by a club-carrying young boy whom she called the “cadet”, or “caddie.” Players would hit a pebble around a natural course of sand dunes, rabbit runs and tracks using a stick or primitive club. “How were golf balls developed?” The first real golf ball was known as the “feathery”. The feathery was a leather sack filled by hand with boiled goose feathers, and stitched up and painted. The feathery golf ball period may have started as early as the 1400’s and ended in the early 1850’s. The arrival of the gutta percha ball in 1848 or “guttie”, as it was called, revolutionized the game and allowed golf’s spread to the masses. The guttie was made from rubber, which could be heated, and formulated into a ball. The next revolution in ball design came around 1905 with the patented "Haskell" ball, which is a composite of a solid core wound with thin strips of rubber. Some modern balls (the expensive ones) are made this way today. This ball performed much better than the gutty and could be made cheaply compared to earlier balls. In 1972 the first two-piece ball was introduced by Spalding. These are more popular with amateurs, as they are more durable and considered to be longer and straighter. Many professionals are still devoted to the softer covered balls, since they prefer the added spin for control as opposed to distance.

  • Greg Norman Announces Final Field for 17 Annual Franklin Templeton

He has participated in three Ryder Cup matches f or the European Team and will make his second Shootout appearance. Jacobson has three European Tour titles, all of which came in 2003. During a six -year span on that Tour, he collected six runner -up finishes and 16 top -10s. Also in 2003, he finished among the top six at both the U.S. and British Opens. This will be Jacobson’s first Franklin Templeton Shootout. He joins Tim Herron and Ian Poulter as newcomers. With the addition of Parnevik and Jacobson (Sweden), the 24 -player field now has a distinct inter national flavor with seven participants representing four countries: Norman, Adam Scott and Steve Elkington (Australia), Nick Price (South Africa) and Poulter (England). This marks the greatest depth of international talent in the Shootout’s 17 - year histor y. “We welcome the two gentlemen from Sweden, “ Norman said. “Now that the field is complete, it certainly does have an interesting mix of current winners, past champions, Hall of Fame members and an international flair.” Winners this year, include Olin Browne , who captured the Deutsche Bank Championship Labor Day weekend for his third TOUR victory and Mark Calcavecchia , who won the following week at the Bell Canadian Open.
