Who Developed Golf Courses Have Eighteen Holes

Q: Why golf courses have 18-hole? Who developed the standards?

A: As many development and changes of golf history, the formation - golf courses have 18-hole is a process, rather than by everyone recognized at the beginning.In this article, I would like to talk somethings about Eighteen Holes. If you want to know much more information or jokes, you may read this funny article - From a Caddy to a Golf Star.

The Eighteen Holes were standard from St. Andrews Similarly. Back to the 18th century mid 60s, until the early 20th century, many courts are composed of 12 holes or 15 holes, 19 holes and 23 holes range.

Then, St Andrews changed the golf course from 22 holes to 18 holes in 1764. That's why? Yes, everyone knows 18 holes easier to manage than 22 holes. From 1764 onwards, many courts have followed the practice of St. Andrews, but until the early 20th century, became a standard-setting 18-hole down, and then, in 1858, the British Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (referred to as R & A) issued a 18-hole standard.

With this question, I consulted the British Golf Museum - Mr. Sam Groves, while talking about the origins of golf 18-hole, he was very familiar: "In 1858, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club announced the new Rules of Golf to its members; the first rule provides for the round of 18 hole game, unless otherwise specified. We may think, when many golf courses learn to R & A, this standard was gradually accepted by all the golfers. By the 19th century 70's, more and more golfers accepted the 18-hole golf course, including accepted the 18-hole round match rules widely."
