1)  Happy Gilmore (He made a hole-in-one on a par 4.  C'MON!!!!)\n\n2)  Jack Nicklaus\n\n3)  Tie between Arnold Palmer and Chubbs Peterson (Although Chubbs did not live up to the hype of being the next Arnold Palmer, as expressed by Sports Illustrated in 1965, he did have a very successful short career before that gator got his hand.  I've also seen him take Rocky Balboa to the final bell.  Extra points for dual sport athlete, in my opinion)

Greetings ...\n\nThe Dow Jones Open Invitational was played only once - at the Upper Montclair CC (72-7,085) in Clifton, NJ on August 27-30 1970. \n\nThe winner was Bobby Nichols.\n\nThe Purse was $300,000 - the 1st Prize was $60,000. At the time, the average first prize was about $ 26,000. In today's money, the Dow Jones Open might be, say, a record $12 million event, with a record $2.16 million 1st prize.\n\nThanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Golf

Ling Hongling of Lanzhou University suggests that golf may have originated in China at least 500 years before it was first mentioned in Scotland. Archives called the Dongzuan Records from the Song Dynasty describe a game called chuiwan and also include drawings. It was played with 10 clubs including a cuanbang, pubang, and shaobang, which are comparable to a driver, two-wood, and three-wood. The archive also includes references to a Nan Tang Dynasty magistrate who asked his daughter to make "holes" for him to play, and describes his "tee" as being jewel-encrusted. There were further descriptions of clubs being inlaid with jade and gold, suggesting golf was for the wealthy. Hongling suggested golf may have been exported to Europe and then Scotland by Mongolian travellers in the late Middle Ages. [4] [5] [6] [7]\n\nGolf was usually regarded as a Scottish invention, as the game was mentioned in two 15th-century laws prohibiting the playing of the game of "gowf". Some scholars, however, suggest that this refers to another game which is much akin to shinty or hurling, or to modern field hockey. They point out that a game of putting a small ball in a hole in the ground using golf clubs was played in 17th-century Netherlands. Primatively, the action of using a stick with a boxed attachment to hit stones close to a marked target, similar to that of bocce, originated in Italy. The term golf is believed to have originated from a Germanic word for "club". It has been hypothesised that golf is actually an acronym for gentlemen only; ladies forbidden, but this is believed to be an urban legend.\n\nIt is an urban legend that golf courses contain 18 holes because that was the number of shots it took to polish off a fifth of scotch. According to the USGA however, this is incorrect. The links at St. Andrews occupy a narrow strip of land along the sea. As early as the 15th century, golfers at St. Andrews established a customary route through the undulating terrain, playing to holes whose locations were dictated by topography. The course that emerged featured eleven holes, laid out end to end from the clubhouse to the far end of the property. One played the holes out, turned around, and played the holes in, for a total of 22 holes. In 1764, several of the holes were deemed too short, and were therefore combined. The number was thereby reduced from 11 to nine, so that a complete round of the links comprised 18 holes.\n\nThe oldest playing golf course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh. Evidence has shown that golf was played on Musselburgh Links in 1672 although Mary Queen of Scots reputedly played there in 1567. The major changes in equipment since the 19th century have been better mowers, especially for the greens, better golf ball designs, using rubber and man-made materials since about 1900, and the introduction of the metal shaft beginning in the 1930s. Also in the 1930s the wooden golf tee was invented. In the 1970s the use of metal to replace wood heads began, and shafts made of graphite composite materials were introduced in the 1980s.\n\nSocial aspects of golf\nIn the United States, golf is the unofficial game of the business world. It is often said, in fact, that board meetings merely confirm decisions that are actually made on the golf course. For this reason, the successful conduct of business golf (which extends beyond merely knowing the game) is considered a useful business skill; various schools, including prestigious universities such as Stanford University, have started both undergraduate and graduate-level courses that teach "business golf." The PGA of America, an organization separate from the PGA Tour, helps to sponsor these programs at universities nationwide.\n\nGolf is not inherently an expensive activity; the cost of an average round of golf is USD $36 [8], and the game is regularly enjoyed by over 26 million Americans and many more world-wide. In fact, most regio

Scotland...\n\nNobody knows exactly how golf started but most scholars say that the\ngame of golf was from club in German or Dutch, “Kolbe” or “Kolf” and\ngolf started from a man hitting stones with stick instinctively in\nancient days.\n  \nW.G.Simpson explained the origin that golf began by a shepherd on a\nsheep pasture in Fifeshire, which became the Royal and Ancient Golf\nClub of St. Andrews. One day a man was playing with a small stone\nhitting by a stick as usual but then the stone fell into a rabbit hole\nby chance. When he was trying to put a stone in a hole again, his\nfriends saw it and joined together.\n   \nIt also can be said that golf started among the ancient Romans. This\ngame was played with a bent stick and a leather ball filled with\nfeathers. The Roman army conquered Europe bringing the sport them and\ngolf was spread over the European countries.\n  \nThere is another suggestion that “Koven”, a Dutch game, is the origin\nof golf. The game consisted of people trying to hit a stick with a\nminimum of strokes using a ball which was the same size as a\ngrapefruit. 200 years later, golf was established in Scotland.\n  \nMoreover, another opinion is that golf came from the Flemish game of\n“Chole” played in 1353. This game was played by two players hitting\nthe same ball three times each using a stick to reach the far goal.\n  \nThese games are similar to recent golf but not exactly the same. It is\nsure that golf naturally results from such sports as these. Records\nsay that a kind of golf was played in Scotland in the 15th century,\nand it was developed by Scots.

Comes from Scottish.  They invented the game, called it "Goff".  Golf is the Americanized version of that word.  Not an acronym for anything, that's absurd.

The answer to your question is St. Andrews....here is a brief history of the life of Tom Morris, I've cited a few different pages below:\n\nOld Tom Morris was born in St. Andrews and apprenticed himself to Allan Robertson, considered by golf historians to be the first golf professional. Robertson made featherie balls, and taught Morris the trade. The two often paired together in matches, and according to legend, were never beaten.\n\nWhen the gutta percha ball arrived on the scene, however, the two split. Robertson demanded that Morris join him in condeming the new ball, thus protecting the featherie business. Morris recognized the guttie as the future, and left Robertson's side in 1849.\n\nMorris left St. Andrews to join Prestwick, where he served as "keeper of the greens." Prestwick hosted the first British Open in 1860, where Morris finished second. But Morris would win four Open Championships during the decade.\n\nIn 1865, he returned to St. Andrews as greenskeeper - a position he held until 1904 - and established a clubmaking shop near the 18th green. The 18th green is today named in honor of Old Tom Morris.\n\nMorris pioneered many of what are now considered the first modern approaches to greenskeeping. He also was one of the first great course designers, taking a role in designing or remodeling around 75 courses according to the World Golf Hall of Fame.\n\nAmong those Old Tom helped shape are Prestwick, Royal Dornoch, Muirfield, Carnoustie, Royal County Down, Nairn and Cruden Bay - still some of the most famous golf courses in the world.\n\nOld Tom Morris still holds two British Open records: oldest champion (age 46 in 1867) and largest margin of victory (13 in 1862). He played in every British Open until 1895. \n\nMorris' son, who would win four British Opens himself, was born in 1851. But Young Tom Morris died on Christmas Day, 1875, just a few months after his wife and child died during childbirth.\n\nOld Tom Morris died in the year 1908 aged 86. He died as a result of sustaining a fractured skull after falling down the stairs in The New Club, St Andrews. \nTom had gained so much respect, that his funeral was attended by hundreds of people who knew, loved and admired him. The funeral procession itself spanned the length of South Street in St Andrews. He was a true pioneer in the world of golf and had lived through the major transitions of the game, from the feather ball; the first Opens; the popularisation of the game; and the introduction of inland courses.
