  3. 1) How many clubs is a golfer permitted to carry? • 21 • 14 • 12 • 9

  4. That's Correct! As a golfer, you may add any combination of woods, irons, wedges, and putters you choose. However, the rules state that you may not carry more than 14 clubs. Go to the next question!

  5. 2) What were the first golf balls made of? • Chicken eggs • Marble • Putty • Goose feathers

  6. That's Correct! Before the arrival of rubber, golfers played with a “feathery ball,” which was a fragile leather pouch filled with boiled goose eggs. These golf balls show little resemblance to the ones used today. Go to the next question!

  7. 3) What should you do if your ball lies in the way of another golfer on the putting green? • Mark your ball • Take your next shot • Hope it doesn’t get hit • Protect it with a bunch of tees

  8. That's Correct! Golf course rules require the a player to mark their ball by placing either a coin or another flat marker behind the ball. Once you have done this, you may pick up your ball and allow players further away to putt. Once it is your turn, place your ball just ahead of this marker before picking up your marker, then take your shot. Go to the next question!

  9. 4) What is a banana ball? • A yellow golf ball • A clubhouse drink • A split golf ball • A bad golf shot

  10. That's Correct! The term “banana ball” is a slang golf term for a bad golf shot, called a “slice.” When this occurs, the ball curves in a banana shape, as it begins heading to the left, and drastically turns to the right. (For a right-handed golfer; reverse for left-handed golfers.) Go to the next question!

  11. 5) Who was the nation’s first golfing president? • Gerald Ford • William Howard Taft • Calvin Coolidge • Dwight Eisenhower

  12. That's Correct! William Howard Taft, generally known as the nation’s largest president, loved to play the game of golf. His devotion to the game became an issue in the 1908 election, but that did not stop him from playing at least twice a week once he was elected president. Go to the next question!

  13. 6) Who introduced the term “caddie”? • Bobby Jones • Ben Hogan • King Henry VIII • Mary, Queen of Scots

  14. That's Correct! Historians have proven that the term “caddie” was originated by Mary, Queen of Scots, who was a very passionate golfer as a girl. While she was playing, she would have young men (cadets) carry her clubs for her. Go to the next question!

  15. 7) When was the Professional Golfers’ Association of America founded? • 1906 • 1916 • 1926 • 1936

  16. That's Correct! The PGA Tour was founded in 1916 in New York. Since then, the PGA has grown into one of the largest sports organizations in the world. There are currently approximately 23,000 professional men and women golfers in the world. Go to the next question!

  17. 8) Who won the first green jacket of the Masters? • Arnold Palmer • Ben Hogan • Sam Snead • Bobby Jones

  18. That's Correct! Sam Snead won the first green jacket, which is the symbol of a Masters champion, in 1949. The color green was originally chosen in Augusta so that patrons could identify members if they had questions about the tournament. Go to the next question!

  20. That's Correct! A golf club consists of a toe, a heel, and a shaft. The hook is not a part of any type of golf club. In golf, the term “hook” describes a trajectory or ball flight in which the golf ball starts out to the right before curving severely back to the left and missing its target to the left. (For a right-handed golfer; reverse for left-handed golfers.) Go to the next question!

  21. 10) What country is the birthplace of golf? • Ireland • Scotland • United States of America • England

  22. That's Correct! Golf as we know it today originated from a game played on the eastern coast of Scotland in the Kingdom of Fife during the 15th century. Obviously, the game was nothing like it is today, as players would hit a pebble around a natural course of sand dunes with primitive clubs.
