  • Summary

  • Shakespeare may not mention the word “golf” in his plays, and in exploring history, it seems that the game was a little bit obscure, certainly not something played widely, but nevertheless it was present for Shakespeare’s lifetime, with some major moments for golf history overlapping with the life of William ShakespeareFor example, it was England’s King James I, patron of Shakespeare’s company the King’s Men, who allowed golf to be played on Sundays. Here today to help us explore the history of the game of golf for Shakespeare’s lifetime, including what equipment was used, what kind of rules were in place for the game, and what archaeological records survive to tell the tale about what golf was like in the 16-17th century is our guest and founder of the Society of Golf Historians, Connor Lewis.
