The History of Wisconsin Golf in the Magazine


National Open Golf Tournament, WHI 11657
WHI 11657
Join the Wisconsin Magazine of History this summer as we explore the long history of golf in our state, from the glorious to the obscure. Check out "Fore! Ward: The History of Wisconsin Golf" and learn about the state's earliest courses — one of which used sheep to keep its greens trimmed — and what connection famous men like Frank Lloyd Wright and President Eisenhower have to golf in Wisconsin.

Ready for another round? Brush up on your trivia, investigate the role of professional sports in Wisconsin history, or find a golf course near you at www.travelwisconsin.com.

The Wisconsin Magazine of History is available with a Wisconsin Historical Society membership or at your local bookstore.
