Originally posted by SHawk Why do full-length golf courses have 18 holes, and not 20, or 10or an even dozen? During a discussion among the club's membershipboard at St. Andrews in 1858, one of the members pointed out that ittakes exactly 18 shots to polish off a fifth of Scotch. By limitinghimself to only one shot of Scotch per hole, the Scot figured around of golf was finished when the Scotch ran out. Now you know.
Golf is like sex. You don't have to be any good at it to actually enjoy it.
