GOLF IN HOLLAND.
An Almanac of 1900 Shows the Dutch
Putting at Holes.

An Almanac of 1900 Shows the Dutch
Putting at Holes.
England did not borrow golf orig
inally from France, but from Holland,
whence the Scots used to buy balls, II
not clubs, TIL crushing duty was
placed on Dutch golf balls,
Indeed, there Is abundant evidence,
including that of Froissart to prove
that the Scots got everything from
Holland ready made In exchange for
raw materials.
However Il was managed, we got
golf balls from Holland and adopted
the Flemish Invention OF the hole.
This was the most brilliant invention
of the Batavian genius.
All continental people played at an
iron hoop or at fixed object like the
pin In croquet, but an illuminated nj
manac Of about 1900 shows that In the
Low Countries players already putted
at holes.
The other kind of game, driving with
hammer headed clubs and lofting
through an iron ring instead of putting
at the hole, reached England from
France In the sixteenth century, bud
died out after the revolution of 1853
1t is still played In the neighborhOod
OF Montpelier and I'm rude fashion,
with a queer iron headed club, In the

Into this court crowds more Of human
