That same year of 1935 that Bobby Jones progressed into Golfing Legend Glenna Collett Vare passed Bobby Jones in national amateur golf crowns as she won her sixth U.S. Women’s Amateur at Interlachen Golf Country Club in Minneapolis Minnesota . This is the very golf course where the Golfing Legend Jones had won the 1930 U.S. Open for the third leg of his grand slam.

Jones dominated the golf era but often shared the golfing spotlight on the links with Sarazeen and indefatigable Hagen. Sarazen became the first of four men ( the others were Ben Hogan , Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player) to win all four of the modern major golfing championships - the Masters, the U.S. Open , the British Open , and the PGA Championship.
The P.G.A. Championship began historically in 1916 with the founding of the Professional Golfer’s Association of America - and invented the Sand wedge golfing club.

The enigmatic and charismatic Hogan possessed the unquestionable thirst for fun and was renowned as much for his gamesmanship and game pursuit of the night life as for his golf and golfing skills. The “Haig” won the first of his 15 major golfing championships in the 1914 U.S. Golfing Open , but it was his triumph in the 1922 British Golfing Open that in the eyes of many of golf historians signaled the onset of Amerian domination of the game of golf and the sport of golfing.

The birth of golf in the United States is far less shrouded in debate than the that of the mystery of the game of golf and golfing itself.

In 1743 a year before the formation of the Company of the Gentleman of Golf there is noteably a shipping record. It seems that 96 golfing golf clubs and 556 golf bals were shipped from Leith in the British Isles to Charleston , South Carolina.

In the year of 1886 in Yonjers, New Yorj the first golf club itself was founded. The Saint Andres Golfing Club was formed by Mr. James T. Ried along with a formatory group of golf enthusiasts. This collection of avid golfers came to claim the derived name ” The Apple Tree Golfing Gang”.

This “Apple Tree ” Groups were avid enthusiasts of the sport of golf and golfing and enjoyed the game on a makeshift three hole layout that started and ended near a large well known landmark of an Apple tree.

The Apple Tree Gang and its leader is considered by many to be the real ancestor and founding father of the game of American golf and U.S.A. golf.

In 1890 the term “bogey” was invented by hughe Rotherham referrring to playing a hole in the perfect number of strokes or of a ground score.

The term “ground score” has now reverted to “par”.

The Haskell Ball made it possible to reach the golf tee with fewer strokes . The term bogey came to represent a score of one over the par for a golf hole.

Metal heads were around as early as 1750 , but they took a significant turn for the golfing better when a man named Mr. E. Burr applied grooves to the golfing irons . These grooves on the golf tool contributed to even greater control of the golf balls through increased backspin of the golf ball.

By 1910 Arthur Knight introduced steel-shafted golf clubs . This introduction of steel-shafted golf clubs perhaps precipitated the first clash in golf and golfing technologies and golfing technology invention and advancement.

Along the way some golf club makers tried using leather among other materials , in their golf clubs , in an attempt to increase compression , and therefore distance of the golf strke. Other golf club makers implanted metal and bone fragments into the clubface . In 1846 , Scottish golf club maker Robert Forgan began to use hickory wood imported from the United Sates of America to manufacture the shafts of golf clubs. Hickory soon became the shaft material of choice in golf clubs.

” Bulgers” which were shaved down versions of long- noses with bulbous heads resembling the shape of today’s woods, became increasingly popular . By the turn of the century , golfing bulger clubs were made almost exclusively of persimmon imported from the U.S.A.

The remainder of the 20th century has been spent refining and improving the respected Haskell golf ball inventions.

In 1902 William Taylor further defined the golf ball technological leap with the invention of the first dimpled golf ball, improved golf ball flight patters. This dimpled golf ball cover design maximized lift and minimized drag.

In addition to these golf ball golf hardware developments Elazer Kempshall of the United States and Franklin Minglay of Scotland independently experimented with liquid core golfing balls .

Thus gutta percha golf balls began to fade from the golf scene themselves the gutta being replaced by balata as a more effective, durable golf ball cover.

In 1900 with the arrival of the Haskell rubber-cored golfing ball the handmade feathery and the Gutta mass produced golf balls days were numbered on the golfing links.

The Haskell golf ball quickly replaced the Gutta Percha golfing ball as the golf ball of choice on the golf courses worldwide among golf enthusiasts and golf pros.

Invented in 1898 by Clevland resident Coburn Haskell and manufactured by the B.F. Goodrich Rubber Company of Akron Ohio, the Haskell ball featured a gutty cover and a wound rubber core, travelled a great distance ( up to 20 yards more on average ) and delivered greater durability.

It has been said that no other innovation on the golf course affected the game of golf as much as the invention and introduction on the golf courses of the world as this product.

   Since of course since golfing is a competitive game ( played on the links of a golf course)   players and golf hardware manufacturers have sought to make better and better equipment as a means of making the golf ball travel further and straighter , reduce golfing scores and make golfing an easier and more pleasurable sport.  Golf is  a hard enough game without adding an unnecessary burden of poor or  substandard golfing equipment.

This is a common mistake among many golfing beginners who  ” want to try the game of golf”  and try to play the game of golf with poorly bought or even a mixed unmatched set of clubs put together from golf clubs and golf equipment purchased at various golf sales or donated to the budding golfer.

Believe it or not in the early history of the sport of golfing golf players actually carved their “sticks”  out of wood and made their own golf balls.   Eventually the sport of golf reached a threshold of player numbers , popularity and wealth and stature of the golfers that craftsmen began to produce the golfing implements.

Long nosed wooden golf clubs are the oldest known designed golf clubs remaining in use unbelievably from the 15th century to the time period of the late 19 th century.  These golf clubs the “long noses: were made of  apple, beech , pear  trees.  Sometimes even the wood of holly trees was used as well.   Of course the ball - the golf balls used a the time were the “feathery” balls . Later on the “gutta ” golf balls became the target of choice of the “long nose”  carved wooden golf balls.

Golf popularity spread from Scotland and England to the British Commonwealth, to India and the United States and other parts of the world. In 1829, India established the First Golf Club outside the United Kingdom called the Royal Calcutta. The Royal Montreal which was founded in 1873, was the first North American Golf Club.

In 1901, the world’s oldest Professional Golf Association, the British Professional Golfers’ Association was founded, followed by Professional Golfers’ Association of Australia in 1911. In America, Professional Golf Tours began in early 1920’s. Women’s Golf grew at the same rate as Men’s Golf though interest in Professional Women’s Golf only came after World War II.

Golf is a not a very old game but a very enjoyable social pastime .   Friendly and some say unfriendly rivalries abound   It is believed by some say the origin of the game of golf lies in the Roman game called ‘Paganica’.  The game of Paganica ( Pagan’s pleasure)  is played with a bent stick and a lbird feather stuffed leather ball .  Still other gold historians tracethe origins of the game of  golf from the ‘Het kolven’ of the Dutch, the French and Belgian game ‘Chole’, the French game ‘jeu de mail’ or  English game ‘cambuca’.   As with most major events in mankind’s history important innovations are often developed simulataneously at the same time in different places without the knowledge of the other inventors.

The most convenient and  the most accepted Golf History Theory is that Golf originated from Scotland in the 1100s. Scottish shepherds knocked stones into rabbit holes in the place where the famous St. Andrews Golf Club now sits.  LOL. The Scots like to claim invention for everything.  Next they will be claiming that they invented fire and water all by themselves.   It is no wonder that next to the fish that got away Golf , golfing and golfers are known for Fiction or Exaggerations .

True the feathery golf ball was a vast impovment over its predecessor wooden golf balls.

Next in line was the “Gutta Percha”.

In 887 , Sir Adams Patterson of Saint Andrews formulated the “Guty” or “Percha Golf Ball”. Named as such the “Perch” or “Gut” was named for the sap of the “Gutta” tree found in the deep tropics of the globe. International travel via the courtesy of the Royal British navy made the Gutta sap available.

When heated , the rubbery sap of the Gutta bush could be easily molded into a golf ball. Thus golf expanded its domain among sportsmen worldwide again to grow in popularity as a well deserving sport.

More affordable than the “feathery” golf ball the “Gutty” golfing ball was much more durable as a golf appliance. Further it was not only significantly superior as a golf ball not only for its durability and aerodynamics but also that it could be mass produced , rather than one golf ball being produced at a time. The cost and availability of these new style Gutta improved golf golfing balls lead to increased spread and popularity of the Scottish sport of golf and golfing.

Golfers quickly availed themselves of the new golfing technolgy and technologies worldwide.

The sport of golf and golfing grew by long yards yet again on the links.
