- On This Day: Monday July 18, 2005
This is the 199th day of the year, with 166 days remaining in 2005.
Fact of the Day: golf course
The first 18-hole golf course in America, laid out by Charles Blair
MacDonald, was incorporated at Wheaton, Illinois. MacDonald was the
architect of many of the early U.S. courses and he modeled them on the
best golf courses of Scotland and England. It was his belief that at
each tee, a golfer should face a hazard at the average distance of his
shot. A regulation 18-hole course may stretch to more than 7,000 yards,
about 4 miles while a par-three, or short-hole, course can be laid out
in about 1,800 yards. On a par-three golf course, each hole measures
100 yards (more or less).
