The game was probably invented in late medieval Scotland, with the first written reference to a contest using stones on ice coming from the records of Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, in February, 1541. Two paintings (both dated 1565 [1]) by Pieter Brueghel the Elder depict Dutch peasants curling (Scotland and the Low Countries had strong trading and cultural links during this period, which is also evident in the history of golf).\n\nThe word curling first appears in print in 1620 in Perth, Scotland, in the preface and the verses of a poem by Henry Adamson.

Final Day 1986 US Masters, Jack Nicklaus wins his 18th and final Major as the Great White Shark Collapses. \n1986 was also the year Willie Shoemaker won the Derby on 20-1 longshot Ferdinand. But Nicklaus triumph was special.\n\nI think George Foreman stopping Michael Moorer was great as did Pete Sampras defeating Agassi to win his Final US Open, but the joy I had in seeing Nicklaus win was something special.\n\nAnd I don't even play golf.

I'm assuming you mean Nicklaus. It was called the Response and was made by MacGregor.

I think tennis and golf are the most boring.  Maybe that's just because I've never heard of curling.  What's curling?

People usually mention Sam Snead when this argument comes up. I'd have to say the greatest all around swing of all time was Ben Hogan in his prime....no one controlled the golf ball better. And of course there's Tiger ;)

I don't have an answer, but I know a few interesting things about golf that you may find interest in.\n\n1) How golf got its name: GOLF stands for Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden. Of course that male-only priviledge has recently changed to include women.\n\n2) In Japan, if you score a hole-in-one, you have to have hole-in-one insurance. The Japanese consider that if you have been fortunate enough to score a h.i.o., then you need to spread that fortune with others. If you don't have the insurance you could have to pay a lot of money, like a million dollars.

Gene Sarazen\n\nThis was only the second year for the award. So it wasn't like a golfer took forever to win one of the award.

Historically I believe it would be  Babe Didrikson Zaharias, who was a golfer and olympic track star.\n\nAnswers.com's bio says: " Mildred 'Babe' Didrikson Zaharias was voted the outstanding woman athlete of the century in a 1950 Associated Press poll. Though she gained her greatest professional fame as a golfer, she rivalled Jim Thorpe in her remarkable ability to excel at nearly any sport. She began as a basketball All-American, then won two track and field golds at the 1932 Olympics. Next she turned professional and began touring the country, exhibiting her prowess in track, swimming, tennis, baseball, and even billiards. In 1935 Zaharias took up golf and excelled at that, too, winning 82 tournaments in a 20-year career. She was only 42 when she died of cancer in 1956."
