2542 ZOOM: "That Scottish Game": Golf's Origins in Cincinnati

one-time ZOOM | Registration opens 4/1/25 10:00 AM

Golf is mentioned for the first time in Cincinnati papers in 1880, and the first course was built on Grandin Road in 1894. How did the city that today boasts 75+ courses begin its long history with the “good walk spoiled”? Who were the pioneers who embraced “that Scottish game”? What were the impediments to its progress, and what was the attraction? Gerry Lanham investigates the local history of golf, 1890-1920. He is author of Golf Reaches the Seven Hills, an avid golfer, and USGA and NCAA Golf Rules Official.
