Information:
Golf began in the United Kingdom soon after the unmarried Queen Elizabeth I of England died in 1603, when James VI of Scotland moved court to London, taking up residence at the Royal Palace in Greenwich becoming James I of England. His royal entourage is thought to have contained a number of golfers and they found the perfect ground at Blackheath on which to play their beloved game.
In 1608 Blackheath Golf Club was instituted, but documentary evidence has yet to be discovered. However, Henry Foot presented Blackheath with a silver club for a competition first played in 1766, so there’s absolutely no doubt that Blackheath is England’s oldest golf club. Westward Ho! opened for golf in 1864 and it remains the oldest course in England still playing along its original fairways.
Today there are approximately 700,000 golfers affiliated to England’s 1,900 or so golf clubs. There are more golf courses in England than Ireland, Scotland and Wales put together. The topographical variation of England’s golf courses is perhaps totally unique the world over but the vast majority of overseas visitors head to Scotland and Ireland rather than choosing to play golf in England. We think the English Tourist Board are missing an opportunity.

Hello everyone, . I hereby inform you that an Open Official Protest has been filed against one of the winners of the 2023 WAGC tournament, who, according to many of us golfers, artificially shaped his HCP to have an advantage in the competition. . Protest was filed on the tournament organizer WAGC Poland officially on 04.09.2023, but until today no answer to the filed protest has been given. . As a result, the matter went to the Polish Golf Association, which has also not responded to the filed protest until today. . Therefore, as the protest was officially filed and no response has been given, from a formal point of view this protest has a status of "pending". This means only that a participant in the WAGC World Finals on behalf of Poland competed in the tournament in violation of all rules and regulations. . I have included in the links the originals of the submitted applications in Polish, so you can translate them into the language of the country using a translator. . Due to the fact that Mr. Sławomir Piński (director of the Polish organizer of the WAGC) on 15.04.2024 blocked me from informing the entire golf community in Poland what is happening in the present case, I decided to present the case on a wider/international forum. . I hope that the organizers of the world WAGC will see this problem, as in Poland Mr. Slawomir Pinski (director of WAGC Poland) is trying to silence the issue. . Protest nr 1: . app.box.com/s/vcikkird0jh0vhfxqpvkz5r1qnocd5oz . Notice nr 2: . app.box.com/s/b95dp7vfrp2tr23qb4laujaz1snp27b4 . Analysis of games subject to doubt: . app.box.com/s/zje1zhiq46h8efyqf45l066hh541lsuw . With golf greetings . Dominik
